9-28 off topic crap

[red state]

Yeah, unfortunately, Andy didn't (pass) before claiming that those who didn't like B.O. were racists and scared to have a "change" (aka black man) in office. As for attacking new members, I don't attack, I defend. It was the Superior One who attacked. In fact, it was both men who wouldn't......


you know what, it doesn't really matter as long as there is a difference but I'll NEVER sit by and have a KNOW-it-all tell me that I can or can't do something (whether it is SHOOTING or posting FREELY as I see fit). IGNORE is the best option here. I have had quite a few to come on this site so I'll take that one loss from those I've added.....how about that? No sense in running all of us off over ya'll's stupidity.

[aboutime]

You lying little crud from the bottom of my size 12s

You're exact words in that thread

I call BS on your statement about "to do things we can't talk about". If you are, who you claim to be. Other than another STOLEN VALOR candidate. It would be easier to prove it.
Perhaps you were a NAVY SEAL, or a RANGER, GREEN BERET as well.
As for the regularly detached BS. What was your C.O.'s last name?

Now clearly you were accusing me of lying. I'm new to message boards, but good grief.


Oh, and forgive me for posting in a military forum and assuming that anyone who would be interested in such would put two and two together and realize that the 75th in the US Army meant, the 75th Ranger Regiment.

Damn was I naive, didn't know people acted like this in the civilian world.

No wonder we end up with shit birds like Obama leading us to hell.

If none of it is true. Why so defensive. I gave you an example. If you are so threatened by question about your service. I wonder what else you are threatened by here.

Perhaps you would like to tell us about that 75th RANGER REGIMENT from the info below?

Gunny. That's enough. If you are so angry, and so self-centered that you need to keep using the Childish name calling. That says just about all I need to know, or think about you. AND...I DON'T GIVE A GOOD CRAP WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ME.

True. You don't give a crap about anything but seeing your own words all over the place like you've got something to say. Maybe others do as well? You got some nerve calling ANYONE self-centered.

[Born2DecadesLate]

Really? So now. We have to be careful about what we ask other members too? I only asked him who his C.O. was at first.
Do you know the difference between a C.O. and then he complained about me accusing him of Stolen Valor.
Those who have nothing to hide..PROUDLY, and WILLFULLY share their military experiences without feeling threatened.
I called BS because ...it's an old trick...much like "If I tell you, I'll have to shoot you" kind of BS.
I appreciate Jim trying to grow this board. But...I hope both YOU and JIM would like to make sure...the GROWING is real

Sir, I'm brand new to message boards. like a week I've been posting. I've a feeling you've been posting for ages. Sorry if I don't know all protocols or answer all questions correctly, but you absolutely, positively impugned my reputation by claiming I was lying about my military service and THEN came in this thread and claimed you did no such thing. Which makes your claim that you are always wanting the truth a fucking laugh.

There are hundreds and hundreds of Army Rangers our there performing hundreds and hundreds of operations everyday that you will never hear about, some of which I have performed, so no I wasn't always with my unit, if you knew anything about the SF world you'd know that it isn't that uncommon for the 75th or Delta or whomever to detach 4 or 5 guys and send them to some shitty third world country to do some job that simply doesn't require a whole platoon.

Is it really that hard to imagine that one might find their way to this message board? I wouldn't think so given the otherwise patriotic feeling of the board if not for you and that other asshole.

What do you want as proof sir? Do you want me to tell you what we had for lunch on the third day of selection? I know , how about the name of the instructor who made us walk barefooted 2 miles through the Georgia mud just because. No , how about the name of the bar in Columbia where I met ..... No I can't tell you that story.............


Oh I know

Fuck you squid, you get your ass back on that tin can, and make sure you got some fucking chow ready and the sheets washed for when a real soldier needs a ride home.

YOU WIN GUNNY. YOU WIN. Anything you say. Too bad you feel such a need to be so pissed off here. I honestly thought, at first. Being veterans gave us more than something to be proud of, and in common.
I still have trouble understanding WHY you feel such a need to use the Name calling. Most Senior NCO's I have met, and Known, NEVER let themselves be seen as out of control.

I apologize for making you so pissed off for whatever reasons you have listed here.

Forgive me for thinking I was able to have a civil conversation on this forum. Please?

Want me to get my brother on here to tell you about it? He's a retired Army Maj and was with the 75th. Or you going to question HIS service as well? He's only got less patience and a worse temper than I do. But he doesn't have a bio in wiki and you might want to provide a link so you aren't violating any fair use laws.

Thank you for proving my point. You and gunny can now enjoy whatever you feel a need to enjoy. Name calling included.

[tailfins]

Need some cheese to go with that whine?

Just be entertained by the "armchair political activist". It's a pity when someone is so useless that their political opinion doesn't matter. If complaining and accomplishing nothing won elections, Mr. AboutWastingTime could be elected Governor.

[Born2DecadesLate]

Forgive me for not knowing that upsetting you was sacrosanct , but now that I DO know it, you just made yourself a target of a pissed of Ranger boy.

As for your point, I still don't know what it was, it seems to me from reading Gunny's posts in this thread that you are known to be a bully pussy who goes after new people who don't bow down to you.

Any other points you wish to make can be filed directly into the round file cabinet.

[Jeff]

Well ...Andy Griffith is dead now ...so ... I guess you don't have to be offended any more "rolls eyes".

OK onto the real important things, Shadow looking at your avatar and thinking of ya rolling your eyes is much more appealing ( to me ) than all this fighting

[darin]

As for the regularly detached BS. What was your C.O.'s last name?

Agreed. it's a lie. No serious Soldier ever brings up the stupid movie-type line of "...I can't tell you, it's classified"

[Gunny]

Agreed. it's a lie. No serious Soldier ever brings up the stupid movie-type line of "...I can't tell you, it's classified"

Hmmm. Really? Good thing I'm a Marine and not a soldier then. I've done more than a few things that were classified and was debriefed when I retired that I would be prosecuted for divulging any classified info. It goes with a clearance and AT would know that since he was a RM.

I've got a better question than all this speculation and witch-hunting y'all got going on @born2decades2late ..... just some clarification (and I don't need any dog-piling help from AT, Tyr nor Red States) Instead of flapping your gums, learn how to do it right.

You have talked about shooting at distances only snipers shoot at in one thread. In another, you claim to have X number of knife kills. What was your primary weapon?

I'll start with the obvious. The former is done at extreme distance and the latter is done close up. One precludes the other. A sniper caught close up doesn't come home to talk about it. Two-man sniper teams are taught to evade and escape, not engage because they are ALWAYS out-numbered and 9 times out of 10 die quick.

Second, what wars did you participate in? The last war there were any engagements that required hand to hand combat was the Vietnam War. The years you listed don't sync with that. You're younger than I am and I was in 6th grade when Vietnam ended.

Any "kills" with a knife since that time would be murder, not combat kills. Not sure I'd be bragging on an open forum about that.

Third, based on the years of service you posted, your primary infantry weapon would have been an M-16A2. Break one down. Plenty of bandwidth here for ya.

Here's your opportunity to square away some inconsistencies just so we can all get it clear in our minds.

Do you ever use that shit to get props or a 'wow' factor? Not that I've seen. EVERYBODY has done stuff not for public release. Everybody, I'd bet.

That's very good line of questioning. Those are the types of things I care about - IF somebody brags they are not allowed to simply get offended and walk away - if they turn cry-baby, then they were probably liars.

I have inadvertently backed myself into a corner where I got stuck not being able to tell the rest, but I don't use it as a deflection.

My issue was and is baseless accusations by those not qualified to make them, for reasons other than what is stated. I just need some clarification on the questions I asked. If he chooses to not answer them, I can and will.

[darin]

Yup.
