I told you yesterday what I did.RebelGator » 26 Oct 2023, 12:56 pm » wrote: ↑ I'll give you an example of sailing in harm's way, my Dad was on the USS Wilson, as an 18 year old sailor in the South Pacific. While being attacked by Jap Kamakazi Planes the elevators for the magazine hold were disabled ...... he and his buddies carried the ordnance to the deck guns up a ladder. He never spoke of it, my uncles told me the story......that's being in harm's way. You got anything close? Let's hear it.

I noticed you didn't mention your service. Do you just sit there in your armchair in your wife beater with your longneck and take credit for what your dad did 80 years ago?
Don't know if I'm taking credit for it, but I am proud of it. He did it so I wouldn't have to.....would I have performed as heroically? You don't know until you're thrust into that role and the ****'s hitting the fan.maineman » 26 Oct 2023, 12:59 pm » wrote: ↑ I told you yesterday what I did.

I have a hard time believing that you served. Your honor and integrity doesn't hold up. Stolen valor ^^^

I would love to hear how I "personally stabbed you in the back".
Sounds like just more of your ****.
I agree wholeheartedly with your last sentence. As a naval surface warfare officer who had spent his time staring at Russians through a pair of binoculars playing cat and mouse games on the high seas, I was totally unsure as to how I would perform in the middle of a warzone in Lebanon... until I got there and had to perform.RebelGator » 26 Oct 2023, 1:05 pm » wrote: ↑ Don't know if I'm taking credit for it, but I am proud of it.

And you should be proud of your Dad's Navy service, as I am of my Dad's service in the Army Air Corps.

Police brutality only seems to be an issue when it's directed at minorities... otherwise we would see mass protests over people like Shaver too, and not just Floyd
The problem of heavy handed cops has been around for as long as their has been such a thing as cops so your "how did we get here?" question just rang hollow to me. We've been here, for as long as I can remember.
Asking that question made it sound like you are just now realizing it because of the Floyd case... and none of us would have ever known who Floyd was if he were white.
PRECISELY!
