Don't ask, don't tell, don't persueFollow

Well if it isn't the pot calling the kettle a ***.

How is this hard to understand? I'm against the repeal for the reasons listed in post 206. What I'm saying is that the military reacted as best as they could, which is better than just saying "ok, it's repealed". There's no way to address every issue involved with the repeal while still having the repeal. Why you all continously focus on showers is beyond me.



Given that I'm finally in a deployed environment, I can now speak from experience and GAXE can correct me if I'm wrong. You have no clue how this fight is being fought. The Iraqis have effectively killed numerous U.S. service members, damaged and destroyed equipment and caused the government to literally spend millions in upgrading equipment. None of this happened with expensive equipment and "sheer numbers".

This is a cat and mouse game of tactics. They use frequency based IEDs, we block the frequencies. They start using pressure sensing IEDs, we put stuff out to trigger the pressures. None of that stuff is unaffordable or take a large number of people. It all comes down to understanding your enemy. Anyone will tell you, the best way to counter an IED is situational awareness. That's something that you can't buy and something that you can't have if a Soldier is stressed out because his wife just left him.

So, you can continue to believe that nonsense that a bunch of people with big guns will always win the war, I'm just glad that you're in no military leading position.

I understand why women do it just perfectly. My question is why you think it's not ok for a man to do the same?

Why can't a man just avoid the situation and not be called a bigot? Does it have to be some sort of threat involved? Are you saying that you're threatened by every male that encoutners you?



You missed the point. Everyone judges people by their sexual encounters. If you say that you don't, then you're probably a liar. The point is, why is it ok for someone to judge someone based on their sexual encounters, except if they're gay?

I can say that I don't judge people by their sexual encounters, and while I am a big fat liar, I'm not being one now. I absolutely could not care less what two consenting adults do when they are alone together.

That's right I suppose that NA was won with superior tactics not the fact that while the Euro's were using muskets and canon, the Natives were using spears, bow's and slings. It was absolutely the fact that the Euro's who had been trained specifically for gentlemanly wars fought in open fields that allowed them to win the Guerrilla War style that the natives employed.

I also Imagine it wasn't the ****'s Superior Armor and Air equipment that allowed them to capture Europe in a year, it wasn't the largest landing force in the history of man that led to the eventual demise of **** Europe. It was all the training that these people had employing never before used tactics such as the Blitzkreig of Operation Overload. It was all training not numbers and technological advantages.

I also was not aware that humans possessed the innate ability to disrupt radio frequencies. I would certainly love to be trained to do that without any equipment. It would be equally impressive if I could do the same to remotely detonate pressure based explosives.

If you think that the US is any better trained then say China, or the UK, or Canada, or Iran, or Iraq you are delusional. The most important training a military person receives is being taught how to take orders without questioning them. The rest is superior equipment and numbers.

Do you know why China is not a threat to the US? Its not because of the US's ability to train troops, its because they have a real ******* navy that will prevent the Chinese from employing its Militaries strength, 200 million ******* people.



Odd I thought only **** could have an emotional situation cause them to be unprepared for combat situations. You mean straight people can have emotional turmoil too.

That's cool and all, I just don't buy that you're immune to other people sexual preferences.



What makes you think it would be any more abusive than any other relationship?

Basically, Alma's calling you a liar, Lub.

Really? Pretty sure I'm still in Iraq... pretty sure.. Just because you believed that "everyone will be home before the holidays" nonsense, doesn't mean that I'm magically on my way back home.

Oh, and my LES says that I was here longer than 2 months

If it makes him sleep better at night thinking that everyone else is as obsessed with other peoples' sexual habits as he is, then I'll just deal with it.

Your home is Kuwait? Either way, you sound like one of my soldiers that went home early during the last deployment. He only got to Kuwait and broke his leg so badly that he was sent back home, and suddenly he had PTSD and issues with how people were always dying in his arms on a daily basis. Your "being in Iraq" doesn't give you any special insight on combat than what's reported on the news. Hell, even if you did the full tour you'd still have the combat insight of the Army Mailmen. Probably less. This would be my correcting you, like you suggested I do.

Depends if you count Canada's army as a real army or not.

Why would anyone do that?

That and stop producing skate guards for hockey skates, limiting Canada's most efficient form of transportation.
