It is.



Oh, thanks Freddie, for your enlightening comment. Have anything of value to
add??

Specifically, do you disagree that the skipper of the sub - as long as he is
in command - is
ultimately responsible for what that sub does?? Or do you have some great
knowledge
or argument that puts blame on higher ranking officials just because they
are on the boat
but not in command??

If you can point to where I said that, then I guess I'm telling you
that. Of course, if you can point to where I said that, you're
hallucinating pretty freely, but that's your problem.

See above.

You really don't know **** about serious CQB training, do you?

:Of course not.

Oh, of course not. It's all done on video games.

Stupid ******.

That seems to pretty much cover it.

That depends.

Yes, I do. Compared to you, I'm bloody nearly omniscient. Hell,
compared to you, my DOG is exceedingly knowledgeable.

Fred,

Your comments contain some wit, lots of hostility, and nothing else but
insults. You have said nothing of substance about the discussion at hand.
Would you care to add anything useful or enlightening or is it enough for
you to pretend that insulting someone over the internet makes you a Big Man?
