I seem to recall the French had a role in helping us against the British with our War of Independence. My how we want to use our selective memory to suit our argument. Quite frankly, without the French, we might not of been around to help save them in WWII. Hypocritical, no? What would you call it then if not?

Nonsense. He would have said the same thing whether they were Army, mavy, Air Force or Marines. He clearly stated his displeasure at military people speaking out against Kerry even if they were curteous to him.

Yes the French were important in the Revolution. Americans have the self confidence and maturty to simply accept that and thank the self serving French king who also helped us in his wars against the british

. The modern day Degaulle brigade on the other hand are a bunch of arrogant prideful narcissist ingreates and they hate the USA for playing such a major role in saving them.

Man my D70 could have taken a great picture of all those many troops marching in paris (on bastille day of course).

He would have said the same had it been some military saying the same had it been against Bush early in 2000. I think he meant that though. I could be wrong as my reading comprehension has been wanting lately.

You say we're showing self-confidence and maturity when we keep bashing them, calling them "frogs", "USA haters" just because some happen to disagree with us? Doesn't look like much self confidence and maturity from my end. How is calling him "Stupid frog" not? Show me anywhere here on this BBS where he's called anyone here "Stupid American"? I can't recall seeing any personal insults by him (or many foreigners for that matter), yet many of us just rain them down on them. Just because we happen to disagree on a subject.

What was that you said above? "Self confidence" and "Maturity"? You sure about that? Doesn't look like it. How about discussing/arguing the points instead of the childish personal attacks. It's unbecoming of us Americans. Show your self-confidence and Maturity, eh.

I know your online persona is to be a bit over the top, but c'mon man, tone it down a bit.

Where do I begin? You are taking all this so seriously, and If were too, I would agree with eveything you said.

Last thing I really shot was the space launch about a month ago. I might go to big sur tommorow and see how it works out.

Holy cow I forgot about those pics. Those were good!
Oh man I really hope you take a lot of pics! I've seen some awesome samples of what that D70 can do.

Saburo that's an excelent question.

from very early on you are taught to respect the rank.....respecting the man that wears it is up to you.

I comented earlier that the Marine talking to kerry is at least showing the discipline to not talk to him while sitting on his ass. He is after all a US Senator.

As far as his questions I would answer them honestly and truthfully.....A good lawyer knows not to ask a qustion you dont allready know the answer to.....that being said If he doesnt like the answer he should not ask the question. But, that's not to say you go over the top and insult the man.

Again you allways show courtesy and respect even if you think he is a disgrace to the uniform I proudly wear.

I'm not saying that allways happens but that's at least how we are trained.

Gunslinger,
Thank you. I would think that's how it would be. Was beginning to wonder there though

of course it could go like this:

Quote

Kerry: Hey there how goes it.

Gunslinger: I'm eating

Kerry: Oh ok, sorry I just wanted to introduce myself

Gunslinger: I said I was eating

Kerry: I see you're in the Marines, you know I was in the Navy during vietnam

Gunslinger: How could I NOT know that?

Kerry: I see you have a Navy Achievment Medal...I had one of those too!

Gunslinger: Do you still have that or is that one of those you threw away in protest.

Kerry: Well I only threw my ribbons away....I have the medals in my office

Gunslinger: So your not a man of conviction? If I was going to protest I'd do it and not take it back.

Kerry: Well I just wanted to let you know that I support the troops

Gunslinger: Is that why you voted FOR the 87Billion before you voted against the 87 billion. I suppose you voted FOR the B1, B2, F14, and every other major kick bellybutton weapons system we have before you voted against them.

Kerry:

Gunslinger: I'm glad you're not fighting in this war. I'd hate for you to come back and give false testimony before congress about all the children i've killed and atrocitys commited......that would kinda suck.

Kerry: well I.....

Gunslinger: Didnt I say I was eating?

You mean one's not out of retaliation of his getting insulted?
We're talking personal insults.

Since I've got the blinders on, you care to quote him on a few?

Captain Virgil Hilts · « **Reply #88 on:** August 01, 2004, 07:40:23 AM »

Do your own search. Or continue on as you are, that's your choice.
