Combat Maneuvering

This is a good thread.  I was sitting here reading the posts since mine and I started laughing - my wife's on the couch watching tv and looks over at me and says what are you laughing at - she's nosy

Ok, who is gonna call the museum and point them to this thread?

I would love to see what the people running that program think about one of their cadets passing off published work as their own.

Oh my.

Gentlemen, this is why we love summer!

I will give the kid some credit.

The CAF Academy is real and looks pretty cool if you have a kid and are anywhere near Midland Texas

My wife needed a laugh- she enjoyed this thread.
I found it disturbing. Disturbing not only in the willful breach of basic principles but in the stunning incompetence of this attempt at utterly shameless self-aggrandizement.
Disturbing in the spelling and grammar which point to the disaster that is the U.S. education system. Disturbing in the display of apparent life priorities. Disturbing in that this kid has parents that didn't teach personal integrity and responsibility. Yes, the younger generation spells trouble for the future but it merely sheds light on a grave failure of our generation. Shame on us.

I guess none have ever heard of a "Tall Tale" before............ hmm...........

everyone in the history of the world has done things that others would find to be funny, or disturbing, or well you get the point.....

the only difference is now everything is instant , back when older folks did things, even things as in this thread.... not as much attention was drawn to it for we did not have the internet and the "internet groupies" that jump on every single thread to just add to the digit count 001011110011010000011........ heh.....

people from kids to elderly people all make mistakes... the idea is to learn from them......

your apology is well accepted lilsquid dude.........

Internet does not make people lie, and "internet groupies" do not force people to post their lies on the internet either, and
lie is no less wrong just because somebody back then got away with it.

There are lies and consequences. Lesson learned depend on consequence. Pat on the back is rather encouragement for more lies.

Ouch!  Never though about it being "my" failure, it's always been "their" failure.  "My" representing all of humanity.  Good point.

the youngster apologized 2big, with that is he not admitting to his lie he tryed getting by with?

did I say anything regarding Lies , anyways?

why is it everytime someone makes a post on these boards, others have to find some way of contourting them in to something else that fits their own "agenda".....


the kid publicly apologized, he knows what he did was wrong

having several kids of my own, and 10's of nieces and nephews, it is very easy to understand how making such a claim comes so easy to kids, until they are taught the ramifications of such claims...... and why one should not do it.

once a child is taught the right & wrong, then they most times will not do such things again.......


.....oh but internet groupies get off on crap like this thread though......... to throw out their .02 worth at every hit of the reply key.....

Well said TC

[Kermit de frog]

TC brings up a great point.

That's a friggen awesome avatar...

[Wiley]

TC's got the right of it.  In general though, it's staggering to me that people will claim stuff they got from the internet.

For anyone thinking of doing it in the future, though I can't impart to people that would try to do it why they shouldn't, remember this-  Other people can use Google the same as you can, maybe even better.

PS- Yes, Kermit.  That is indeed an awesome avatar.

It's called discussion and the definition of discussion isn't "I agree with you about everything". Does that bother you?
