I would also give more respect by default to any honorably discharged military veteran than a civilian. That is not to say the person is more honorable or to be respected more - but it is a good quick assessment.


You really think so? O_o

Unless you type as much as I do in a day and you made a mistake.

Anyone who has any doubts on the validity of my service can ask Crimson to verify. She knows a lot of personal things about me as well as a few other "technical proofs" that I'd rather not get into right now. And if that wasn't enough I'd even send her a copy of my DD214. I was honorably discharged with eligibility for the VFW. I have put my life on the line in a combat zone, and I am offended that a fellow American would think that I made that up.

PS, I also forgot the apostrophe in "McDonald's" - so I apologize for my lack of a perfect post.

Thank you for your time in our military. I honestly appreciate it.

I think we're losing track of who is actually the ass tard in this thread. That would be the person who started it.

Yeah. He has no right to bash the Army for an asinine move taken by our leaders -- that's like blaming models for being too skinny.

Uh, the Army and the model both have control over their actions. Bashing them in both cases is perfectly acceptable.

So you're saying it is acceptable to bash soldiers of the Army for not rebelling on their orders to fight in the War on Terrorism? Oh c'mon, few think the consequences are worth it. If you were in the Army, would you rebel? The only real way for them to go is a consensus. But that won't happen -- we both know it.

As for the models, money v. making a political standpoint that will do virtually nothing because the heads will just bring in some new models from a third-world country, who you can't ethically blame, to silence the opposition. Hrmm.

This and this.

Please evaluate my ignorance and post your scientific conclusion below.


Rather than me throwing my "obvious bias" into a response, why don't you ask anyone else who cares to read those two posts read through the discussion in its entirety.

You are suggesting that:

(1) A mispelling is a 'fit of severe retardation'
(2) I am a 'fucking moron' because I was involved in two threads that were against people of low character.

You are the 'fucking moron' for calling someone who makes a simple misspelling error a 'severe retard'. No other way to look at it. And I think anyone in the entire community with half a brain would agree.

Also, both of those threads were regarding cheaters and thieves of which I do not tolerate. I refused to just "give up and accept it" like a few people suggested because I know what is right and I refuse to give in. Maybe some day you'll learn more about courage.

You're starting to sound like another character around these forums.......oh, what was his name? AIRCRAFTKILLER????!

Oh, give me a fucking break, Ty. You bitch about people attacking others for no other reason than disliking them, yet you do the same thing. Quit being a hypocrite. Don't respond with your "hurr internet serious biznez" shit. That just makes you even more of a hypocrite.

Yes, veteran = auto-respect. The person may not be respectable, but their commitment and sacrifice sure is. For that alone I give them respect, whether or not I agree with them or think they're an idiot.

To be completely honest I've served with a lot of idiots, morons, and people with "less than adequate character" (in my opinion) but they still managed to get out "honorably" somehow. Go ahead and try to use that against me and see if I care.

I got off my ass at the age of 18 (17 when I signed) and did something for my nation. I felt it was the right thing to do. I don't want to turn this thread into a debate on whether joining the military is the right thing to do for everyone - but anyone that has joined any military service can tell you that it takes a little bit of testicular fortitute to sign your life away.

This thread was about an ignoramus saying foolish things - and when I stood my ground here comes xptek to save the day with his backwards truths. He's just as ignorant as the topic starter in many regards.

XPTEK: Are you a military veteren yourself? You've said "to a fellow veteran" so I'd like to know. Because to be honest I have NEVER run across a fellow veteran who was as disrespectful to his brother in arms as you ... so I'm starting to think you're full of shit.

Further, I would still like to know how I'm a 'fucking moron' for standing up to some punk 15 (not even 16yrs old yet) kid who tried to steal from my business and from my community. How does that make me a 'fucking moron'? He was adult enough to put up his own site and run his own servers ... so if he wants to play like the big boys, let him be one of the big boys. Not to mention Justin Schultz (sm0ke) is well over 18 with a wife and kids. You must be one of those PUSSIES in life who just watches when bad things happen then blame other people. Well let me remind you of something child, "Karma is a bitch" and I hope that God spanks the fuck out of you someday for being a twat.

The arguing with a 16 year-old comment is talking about you arguing with HIM. HE is 16. Obviously, he hasn't served in the military.

Well I have yet to go to basic(I am in my first year with Army ROTC at my school) but from watching the Air Force ROTC cadets do their PT session(which is in the afternoon...which infuriates me since the Army's is at 6:30 AM) that it is not as strenous as ours. So I would expect the same about basic, hard but not as hard as the army or marines. I am guessing the hard part is after basic where you have to learn all the technical details of your job.

That is why 30% of the Air Force PT test is a waste measurement score. For males, if you have less than, I think, a 32 inch waste you get the full 30 points.

The reason is that the Air Force is mainly technical jobs now and they don't want to get rid of smart people just because they can't run a 6 minute mile. Of course PJ, CCT, SF, etc require much higher physical fitness levels to join up.

AFROTC right here.

edit* We have 4 PT sessions a week. Wed and Fri at 7am, 5:30 on test days, and Tues and Thursday at 3:30pm. I can only go to the ones on Wed and Fri because I have a class during the other ones. And for some people it is the opposite and they hold their own PT session at 6am Wed or Fri.

We need to make at least 2 per week at if we have less than 80% attendance over the semester we fail and can never go back into ROTC.

xptek the reason you can say "big fucking deal" is because of veterans. Spend a week in an authoritarian government and see how you hold up. You'll be begging for veterAns like ME to come liberate you. Downplaying self sacrifice to protect your renegadeforums.com post is proof of your ignorance.

In review of your 8 step program I found the following 8 errors:
(1) I am not old. Perhaps in relation to your 1-sprouted curly self?
(2) I interact with many people over a text-based medium. As do you. So......where were you going with this one? Oh wait, nowhere.
(3) If this game was so dead and unimportant why do YOU waste your breath arguing with "useless people like me"?
(4) <See error in #2>
(5) This has not be proven and I have the respect of MANY more people than you do here. I guess that confirms that you are, in fact, the 'fucking moron'?
(6) There are no children laughing at me. Maybe you? But I do not count you for anything because I've never heard an intelligent word out of your mouth.
(7) <See error #2 and #4>
(Cool I kept my cool and continue to make you look like a fool. Better luck next time.
