  1. yeah; its called first hand experience. try it sometime. its a trip!
  2. Her son, as an adult, made a decision to go to Iraq. There is no infantryman in this army that doesn't know that they will go there several times in their enlistment no matter how short it is. I am not saying it is right or wrong, but what I am saying is that he made a choice as an adult to offer up his security, to defend others'. His mother is giving his honor and the memory of his selfless duty a golden shower.
  3. There's is not to question why. There's is but to do and die. I cannot (nor can anyone) know the answer to that. All soldiers can do is offer themselves up to fight for their nation. They are to assume that every link of their command is basing their decisions on sound judgment because to doubt that judgment would result in indecision and likely failure when it matters most.
  4. C'mon, show some class. Class? Like using a child's death for a political campaign of personal destruction, engaging in a seditious game of anti-Americanism, meeting with despicable dictators who are actively trying to undermine us? That kind of class? i'll call you an asshole not for questioning her politics, but her honesty - do you seriously think she's using her dead son as an excuse for pursuing her political goals? disagree w/ her all you want - but she does have a geniune complaint. i can't say that her chilling w/ chavez is classy, but refusing to accept her son's death in a wrongful war is. He signed up for it. He is an adult and swore an oath that he was ready to die for his country if necessary. It is a shame that it in fact was necessary, but he felt the risk of death was not as great a pull as was the need to fight for his country.
  5. Your interpolation leads me to believe that you feel the entire population of Seattle are "Left winged zealots." You said it, not me.
  6. What exactly does that mean? Sorry, I must be one of those "pseudo-intellectuals" you spoke of. That your precious left winged zealots called me a baby killer after my buddy's funeral. What's not to get?
  7. The same cannot be said of Kurt's.
  8. I like it. I get paid to spend time outdoors and learn cool stuff. i also get to go cool places Your city is full of nhilistic, narcissistic pseudo-intellectuals who like to call people "baby killers" who are burying their friends. nuff said? As for what I stand for, my actions speak for themselves.
  9. Hiya everybody. I came back to Washington and saw that Seattle is still as anti-"everything I stand for" as ever. Keep up the good work.
  10. I have a sweet OD green compass. It is pretty sweet paired with a map. I bet you get lost before I do.
  11. Come to 10th SFG (Airborne) and say that boner. They would love to hear about your epic, being they are a mountain team and all.
  12. For those of you in the know, I made it. Thanks for the words of advice and encouragement. I will be home in 8 hours. Lock up your daughters.

    update...

    thanks for the words of encouragement. I graduated from infantry OSUT and I am one jump away from graduating a-school and am off to fort bragg about 20 minutes after the graduation on friday. I will be back on leave for a month in January and and wanting to get some tough climbing in to keep in shape. Let me know and stay safe...
  14. I am not angry. I have no reason to be. I just find it odd; your preoccupation with me. I would find it scary if you didn't look like a cartoon so much.
  15. 1) I went to - and graduated from- 2 accredited Universities 2) I was 17 last time I ever saw Fendall before he left for Greece. I think it is funny that you take so much pride in the fact taht you are essentially a professional pot smoker. I just don't see the attraction. If you are jealous of my education, the opportunities i have gotten in my life or the fact that I DIDN'T FUCK ALLISON; I can understand that. I just find it silly that someone with 30 years on me even bothers to compare himself to me. Sad, I would say.
  16. Cadaver Gap on Rainier is another easy one that probably just doesn't get done anymore because of the major accident back when it was guided really frequently.
  17. Wow! Burn! Scott doesn't smoke pot! OH MY GOD! What a loser.
  18. Sure, but it wouldn't be much of a punishment for them. They could buy their oxycontnin on their way to the grocery store everymorning.
  19. WTF? People are pissed because all of a sudden we are actually enforcing laws? Its about fucking time. I hope the next step is to round up all you pot smoking hippies. Send you off to forced labor cams or something.
  20. Doubtfull... they have been around a loooong while.
