this guy has mentioned he's at Fort Drum in several threads and he calls himself "bored@fortdrum" in the chat - plainly he gets quite a boner from feeling like a tough military man and he wants to tell the world about it. how can we not make fun of him for that?

Post by: Variable on Dec 15, 2008, 05:56 PM
Wow, pretty much everyone who tried to post on subject in this thread is an idiot.  Alvarez was perfectly right.

1. I have never met a bigger group of pussies than the U.S. Army.  Believe me sharinglungs they aint shooting shit.  Their TTPs are to run the fuck away any time danger comes around.  This guy sitting here talking about how tough he is probably means he has a support job.  Some kind of logistics job.  Maybe a mechanic or a cook.  Usually those who have been forward deployed dont feel the need to brag about it.  But then again, as I said, even when the army is forward deployed they still act like a bunch of pussies.  So either way, he is just trying to feel tough because the Army doesn't make him tough.

2. Sharinglungs The shit you have been saying is about as ignorant as it comes.  You have not been there for one.  So you really cant act like you know anything about anything that is going on there.  The news is a horrible source of information for what it is like over there.  I had to sit and watch a 60 min report where they were talking about the US bombing "innocent" afghans in a valley that I personally spent a lot of time in.  I personally spent a lot of time getting shot at.  I personally had to treat a lot of combat casualties.  I personally had to drag dead bodies off the roads.  No one in that valley is innocent.  There is a lot more to the story, but I dont know if you actually care to hear it or not, so just let me know if you do. 

But there is not raping and pillaging going on.  Thats for dam sure.  No torturing either.  That's all the CIA in Guantanamo, and I'm all for shutting that place down.  As far as shooting innocent people.  Yes, it does happen.  But you have no idea how hard it is to fight an insurgency.  Its not like the enemy is wearing uniforms.  They are purposely blending in.  Try to put yourself in the shoes of a US marine.  Spending every day driving on roads with bombs laid out all over them.  Every foot patrol having to see a suicide bomber come up and try to kill you.  Yeah, if some bitch comes out screaming something angry in Arabic and looks like she has a suicide vest on under her clothing, you will probably shoot.  But to be 100% honest.  Most Marines and Soldiers dont even shoot anymore.  Because you get in so much dam trouble for shooting an innocent person, that they would rather take the risk of dying.  Thats the truth.  Don't know if CNN told you that or not, but its the truth. 

You really have no idea what you are talking about.



oh and Hosh, STFU with the brown people shit.  We all know you love Bill Hicks and all.  But that doesn't mean everything he said should be taken so literally.  It also doesn't make it true.

I can totally believe Raping and Pillaging is going on , because it doesn't seem very far fetched at all.

And Yes, Innocent people are getting killed for no good reason...

Canadian's have died because of dumbass American's.

No, its not that you were talking crap about the military.  You were saying horrible things about me and my friends.  But more so that you were saying very un true things about us.  The Abu Ghraib incident was pretty dam isolated.  Not to mention that those people got fucking fried for it.  There have been plenty of other inquiries and investigations of detainee abuse.  But that should only prove that the military strongly frowns upon that kind of behavior.  There are literally millions of service members.  You can't stereotype us all because of the actions of only maybe 100 + .   I am all for Guantanamo Bay being shut down.  But speaking to that, Even the Executive Branch straight up admits to water boarding the detainees there.  And not that I'm defending Guantanamo, but I will mention that US service members are waterboarded every day at S.E.R.E. school.

There is a very mixed perception of the war on terror and especially the war in Iraq amongst service members as a whole.  But I have found that most of those of us who deploy to the actual combat zones are just trying to do a good job and go home in one piece.  I don't know very many people who I think genuinely harbored any feelings of true hate for the average citizens of Iraq or Afghanistan.  Especially not enough hate to torture and rape them.  Not to mention the ridiculous amount of trouble you would get in for getting caught doing something like that.  They fucking fry your ass for shooting an innocent civilian even if they were acting in a threatening way towards you.  Its crazy.  But thats my point.  You have no idea about any of that.  You have no idea about how many ROE briefs we go though and how many times we have to hear all these crazy rules that totally set us up for failure.  You have no idea about the stress than can be put on you average service member who has to go on a combat patrol outside the wire.  So for someone like you to say such things, sounds very ignorant.  Very, very ignorant.  Especially when some of us in your audience knows from first hand experience that you're wrong.

Yeah I met quite a few FOs in Afghanistan.  Im guessing that means you were part of the scout platoon?  I think thats what they called themselves.  I was on a cop with a calvary troop.  I think it was the 191 cav.  im not 100% positive though.  They were from Germany and Italy.  Their call sign was bulldog.  Thats about the most I can remember without getting my ass up and pulling up some certificates they gave to me for being part of the "order of the spur" or whatever.  But they had a few FOs.  Before them I was on another cop with another unit that called themselves "pathfinder"  I can't remember exactly what kind of unit they were.  It seemed like they were the armies version of Recon.  I would remember what they were if I heard it again.  They had a 18D medic.  Most of the rest of them were rangers.  So I dont know.

But no, I'm not a Marine.  I'm in the Navy.  I don't know how much time you spent with Marine units.  But they Marine corps doesn't have any medical personnel.  So they pull all of their corpsmen ( the navies term for medic ) from the navy.  So I'm in the navy, but I have never even seen a ship.  I live on a marine corps base, wear a marine uniform, have a marine chain of command, go to the field with the marines, deploy with the marines, but I get paid by the navy.  It's a bit strange to someone outside of the system.  But it works out ok.  Here is a link of you really care to read up on it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hospital_corpsman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hospital_corpsman)

But yeah.  I talk shit about the army.  Probably in part due to service pride.  I met a lot of real cool army guys.  A lot of fucking retarded army guys too.  But that's all the same in the Navy and Marine corps.  It's not that anyone I met in the Army were necessarily bad Americans.  It's just that I was horrified at the cowardice I saw in the Army as a whole organization.  I mean, dudes were scared shitless.  It seemed like it was your SOP to just fucking run as fast as you could back to the FOB anytime anyone shoots at you.  Also to only leave the FOB if you absolutely must.  Meaning minimal patrols, meaning more time for the insurgents to lay IEDs or set up ambushes, or terrorize the local populace, making it way more dangerous for those of us who patrolled every day.  Then again, in my experience, when the marines hit an area that has been controlled by the army for a while.  The bad guys get so dam confused when the people they are shooting at actually shoot back and run towards the ambush, that they too just pack up and run away.  So I don't know.  I'm not saying you're a bad guy.  I'm just saying that more than likely, if you're in the Army, you're a pussy.  But I guess you could be one of the few who actually have some nuts.

I will make a side note though.  I in no way shape or form think that every Marine and every Corpsmen is a bad ass.  Just if you get me started on the whole pusification of the US military as a whole, ill never shut the fuck up.

I went to Ghazni for a day when that whole Korean hostage thing was going down.  I hope for your sake that you don't go there.

Yeah, it packed full of ass holes.  But its just also a shitty place.  A lot of Afghanistan is very very beautiful.  Lots of mountains, rivers, and trees.  Ghazni is pretty desert.  Kind of ugly.  But there is a pretty big lake there, due to a dam.  The FOB is semi big.  And you are only about an Hour or two from Kabul.  But I would just rather be somewhere else.

I seriously doubt it.  China is trying to make its way into the western world.  They are making huge profits with the free trade global economy.  They would be stupid to start some shit.  They really have nothing to gain by it.  Same with Russia.  They are trying to clean up their image and establish themselves as a world power again. Standing up to and starting a war with NATO just wouldn't make any sense for them.

I do however believe that you and I will be in Pakistan here pretty dam soon.  Obama is chomping at the bit to enter Pakistan.

Actually, everything went exactly how the smart people predicted it would.  You just have to check where you get your info from.  Because there is no room for smart people in the major public media or in elected offices.  We prefer charisma over intelligence.

  lol.  No.  I'm not talking about prophecies.  I just mean that there are a lot of very intelligent people out there who are able to understand cause and effect.  through this very simple scientific process they are able to say that if America does this, that will happen. 

Example.  If the federal reserve lowers interest rates in response to the falling NASDAQ in 2003.  Then in less than a decade America will be in an economic crisis. 
This was accurately predicted by the Mises organization www.mises.org (http://www.mises.org) and heavily publicized by congressman Ron Paul www.ronpaul.org (http://www.ronpaul.org).  But did anyone listen?  Nope.  Because it wasn't being said on FOX or CNN.  Therefore it wasn't true.  Then when it did happen all the news stations were in a frenzy to get Ron Paul on their shows and ask " How could you have possibly known!?" and when he told them.  They wrote him off as a looney and never brought him back....... Yes.  We prefer charisma over intelligence.

Whatever, Ill bite.

What the fuck is your point?  That civilians died in a war zone?  Yeah, it happens.  But of all people to blame, you blame the US Army?  No one told the Taliban to fight an insurgency.  No one told them to dress in civilian clothes and intermingle within the civilian populace. No one told them to allow AL Qaeda into their country to train and plan out the attacks on the USS Cole, 911, and may more.  They did all that one their own.  But its the US Armies fault when some insurgents start shooting at Americans from a populated village.  I noticed that the article mentioned that the air strike was called because insurgents were shooting at troops, but never said if the insurgents died in the attacks.  My guess would be that they purposely attacked from that location so that when it got bombed, dumbasses like you wouldn't see that this was a planned out act by the insurgents to coerce the US military into killing civilians so that they can turn the people of Afghanistan and America against the security forces.  Nope, no way could the actual insurgents be to blame.  It must be the blood thirsty US military.  Good call.

Also, we are not cops.  We are an aggressive force meant to win wars by killing the enemy as quickly as possible.  I respect president Karzai and all, I really do.  But he would be singing a much different song if we all just packed up and went home tomorrow.  Told him to use his own police to police his country.  Yeah, then lets talk about civilians being punished.  It's a combat zone, civilian casualties are bound to happen.  For this to stop, the war must stop.  But that also has nothing to do with the US military.
