I came up to persicope depth to send a radio message to Makeo. As soon as MTG acts on my "put me in the box" request, I'll be "running silent, running deep."

Anyway, how are you? Cool guys like you make me like the leftists a lot more.

[Bereta_Eder]

Ok I guess. Much more tired than usual though.

I hope MtG doesn't get to it right away (executing the order of getting you back in the box I mean )

You know I also did a «GP»? (asked the Mods to lock my account?)

Yeah.. it lasted about 5 days

[TCO]

We are brothers in arms.

FYI: still want to show you a couple articles by a Greek journalist who got in trouble with the US for interviewing US Naval officers in the 60's. Thought it might interest you.

[Bereta_Eder]

Sure. Can you send them by PM? Or here?

What was he/she intervieing them about? Why did he get into trouble?

[TCO]

Can't remember the whole thing. It was pretty interesting though, from perspective opf a journalist and what he reports, etc. More complex than the usual threads here though.

I'll look for it. Unfortunately it was in USNI Proceedings and i've lost my hard copy and don't have an on-line subscription.

That is not difficult


Trying to make a serious point here is like blasphemy

Oh please! What's wrong Mike? Can't take a little beating!?

Why don't you come down and let's set a time and place and you try to give me one, honey?

Did I insult your national pride!?

No, you're a clueless goat****ing maggot. National pride isn't even on the radar screen on this one, as far as I'm concerned. The way good men were hung out to dry is a matter of national shame, but even that has nothing to do with my comments to you, asswipe. Try reading a little deeper.

I slam Americans and you all share the opinion that I'm stupid.

Slamming Americans has nothing to do with it - your head is so far up and locked that all you can see is brown.

Fine, but you guys constantly slam the Somalis and someone here even called them cockroaches!

Maybe you need some reading lessons - must be awful dark in there. And shove "you guys" up your ass where your head is. My comments stand on their own, and if you read them (two syllable words may be beyond you, but too bad) you'll see I distinguished rather precisely between the Somali people in general, and our specific enemies. Spend some time in Somalia.

Don't take it too harshly my friend! If you ridicule the rest of the world,

I didn't.

don't be surprised if someone ridicules and has some fun with you once in a while.

Go **** yourself and give yourself some brains.

Chegitz - so sorry, but you're full of ****. I'm surprised at you, too, because you had so much better of an opportunity to slam the US and you just frankly blew it.

Can't I just be flippant once in a while?

[MichaeltheGreat]

Yeah, but any true commie (or anyone else for that matter) had plenty of basis for ripping both superpowers in our 1970's to mid 1980's conduct in Somalia and elsewhere.

You just don't seem to have the zeal anymore - must be working too hard, making all that money as a member of the intelligentsia or something.

Don't take this the wrong way, MtG, but given that his head is that far up his ass, all he can see is actually green. It doesn't become brown until it gets closer to the egress.

Okay, honest answer is I don't have a lot of info on Somolia and don't have access to my old bookstore www.nwrc.net, since I'm 1,000 miles away now. Thought it was better to just be a smartass than act like I knew something I didn't. Plus, I've never seen a leftist analisys of the Somolia adventure that really satisified me.

I actually know a bit about the history of Somolia and the Horn of Africa as it relates to the Cold War (you left out the whole part of how Somolia was originally a Soviet client but switched when the USSR became chummy with Ethiopia - America was so happy to get the deep water port that the Soviets had built there). However, as it relates specifically to the US mission there, I don't know squat.

One of the things that I did hear from my comrades is that even during the height of the famine, Somolia still was producing enough food to feed itself (and exporting it to Europe) and one of the first jobs fo the marines was to guard the export warehouses (defending private property and all that). The cause of the famine wasn't so much war and drought as distribution. The poor farmers simply didn't have the resources to deal with the drought while the large landholders did.

Can't say for myself whether that's true or not. Maybe you could say.

Why don't you come down and let's set a time and place and you try to give me one, honey?

That's a pretty bold statement!

No, you're a clueless goat****ing maggot.

Go **** yourself and give yourself some brains.

Go **** yourself repeatedly. It might eventually trickle in and mix with what little you've got for brains, and give you a second point of IQ to go with the one point you have, asswipe.

MtG, you seem to be quite full of hate. It's amazing to see someone judge another person without even knowing them.
Every single one your statements has not been supported. You just pick offensive words out of a hat and throw them at me. Tell me MtG, why is it that you think I'm such an "asswipe"? You don't have to make such unwarranted comments. You aren't making an intelligent statement about yourself either, by casually throwing out such unreasonable words.

I came here to intentionally make a few silly comments (It's in my devious nature to do so) and I am confronted by someone who is quite confident in his personal physical force and throws out words without even thinking.

Spend some time in Somalia.

Who knows, I might even be Somalian. I take it that you have been there. Please MtG, tell me (from your AMERICAN point of view, that is) what Somalia is like.

BTW, almost all who posted to this thread seem to be American. Gives me another insight into why they respond this way.

Dominikos appears to be a more skilled version of Mark L/Spink.

[Shi Huangdi]

No, MarkL/Spink aren't that tasteless.

I honestly feel sorry for Dom. Bringing popcorn and cheering at soldiers getting killed? He clearly lacks all humanity, and is nothing more than a pathetic, bitter, shell of a human. He has the same respect for life the Nazis do. He furthermore obviously lacks even basic analytical abillity, not being able to see the difference between insulting our Somali enemies and the Somali people. It must be hard to be as dumb as his posts show him to be. I honestly feel sorry for Dom, having to go through life as a pathetic, hateful, idiotic piece of human trash.
