And as I have pointed out before in this forum, people who engage in name calling are extremely immature, and not emotionally developed.   Perhaps, though, you are still in middle or high school, and that would thus explain why you talk like this.   And if so, that means you have hope, as your brain will eventually mature in a few years, and you will become more responsible.

Maybe if you cared more about your fellow human beings on this planet, you would not find such base and tasteless humor to be so funny.

I find it offensive, and I certainly have a right to not like it.  

If you like it, that is perfectly fine.   But don't call me names simply because I don't share your values.

Sometimes its best to keep your mouth shut instead proving to the world what a complete sweetheart you really are.


Sig,

What Texasmom said.  I hear you as I have similar experiences.  Sometimes its best to take things in the manner intended instead of filtering it your own way.  While the video is in poor taste it clearly was not the intent to insult the sacrifices made by many including those in the AF.

I apologise for offending you sig, this was meant to be some light hearted fun.  My brother is in the army and has done a tour of both iraq and afghan.  This video was part of the banter that has gone back and forth between us for some time because i intend on joining the navy this year.

I have friends who are/have been in the Royal Navy and British Army, both unique experiences which will stay with you for a lifetime. The 3 forces seem to have quite different cultures which you will probably have already found out, although whichever service and speciality you choose you will be amongst the most professional servicemen in the world :cool:

The RN has made a remarkable contribution to Britain's history for hundreds of years, you will be following a proud tradition if you opt for the "Senior Service" :aok

Sig220,

First off a big SALUTE to your friends son Micheal.

I am the father of two soldiers. Last February 5th my son Thomas lost both legs in Iraq. He is currently home on leave from Brooke Army Medical Center. We've both looked at the video, and both laughed our butts off at it. A laughing "Freakin Sailors"was his response.

I think you're over reacting a bit. Diablo means no  inslut against the US Army. The whole thing is a joke. Over reacting doesn't honor Micheal, or any of the other wounded warriors no matter what branch.

I can appreciate how close this may hit home for you, but it's just a joke.
Humor is one of the things that has help sustain Thomas and our whole family this past year. Let a joke be a joke.

Besides, Diablo is a retard. :D

Sig, it's pretty obvious you are not a vet or you would understand the interservice jokes.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.
