Why do you need a gun?

[Gunny]

To make clear my comments about 99% of my comment was about me, and in no way questioned your creds gunny. In fact, I defended that some few of us have decided to tell about our lives- the good and the bad-with no embellishments and editing , etc. To some that may look like bragging--but its just being truthful. My good friend always said, it ain't bragging hoss, if its true.. And I whole heartedly go by that philosophy myself.
I do that a lot- and I admit my youthful follies a lot too.
I questioned nobody's creds in my comment .
All I did was try to point out why I POST THE WAY I DO...
AND HOW IN LIFE WE HAVE THAT 1,2, 3 TYPE PEOPLE THAT I THEN DESCRIBED.
Some of us have lived damn wild young lives and actually lived long enough to talk about it--even hoping to benefit others by doing so..
And even reformed ourselves. -- -Tyr

I took no offense at what you posted. I just happened to respond to your post. What I don't like is the intolerance by some. They take not even a second's worth of time to try and understand anyone else. I was raised with "well, you could have done better" for a dad. I missed the range record at Edson Range by 1 point and I "could have done better". Shot a 243 and the record was 244. Out of a max 250. I hit 2 home runs in one game and all I heard about was the strike out in the middle.

I punch brick walls. Ask my ex's. Not because I think I'm some badass, but because I'm ALWAYS trying to do better. And anyone that thinks living with a perfectionist mindset is fun, I can square you away on THAT one.

And AT is being ridiculous. I don't dislike him. I dislike that he feels he needs to piss on everyone else. He KNOWS from what I know and have posted that I know my shit. Or he doesn't know his. But he's got to come along and question it for whatever reason. I'm big, strong and have a bad temper. That's me. It's just the way it is. And as I've said, it's kind of hard to not post stuff on a board that the means of communication is words on a screen.

Now, if ANYONE wants to know if I'm an asshole, I got a list of names from more than a few people that will tell you all about it. Current GF included. Civilians are stupid, pampered and weak. And FTR, I don't include my bretheren rednecks in that comment. I wasn't raised as some weak-ass sissy. Sorry if that offends some people. I'm really sorry that AT had to push this far. I've never questioned a vet's creds. Anyone who remembers when I ran USMB knows I was just the opposite. If someone's a fraud, we know it.

Now either I spent an inordinate amount of time studying up on the Navy/Marine Corps and faked an ID, medals and records or I spent 20 and half years in the suck. And ANY vet on this board can tell you I couldn't make this shit up. I just find it VERY offensive that another vet ... especially a Navy vet ... would question my service. It might work on other boards, but I doubt it's going to work here.

I ignore AT. But he's always got to have something to say about me. Maybe he should try focusing on the topics? If you got any sway with him tell him to STFU. He's already had a hissy fit and threatened to run off. A threat he didn't keep. I dislike very few people. I dislike men who talk the talk then act like little bitches.

Everyone needs to give this shit a rest. If I wanted drama I could watch a romantic comedy with my GF
