Dear "Straight Pride" Jerk . . . .

[Lonestar]

You should really learn some facts, Lonestar. I don't guess you have to. It's not really a requirement for blabbering bull****.

Verily, I am being buried in kettles and pots over here.


You going to retract your statement? I'll be more than happy to do the same with mine.

[Lonestar]

Considering only a tiny fraction of soldiers see combat, this dickwaving contest seems pretty stupid to me.

Most vets don't call others cowards because they don't like how a conversation is going, but I guess that's how they roll at the Fort Worth VFW.

[Lonestar]

Ummm, I was in that same combat zone in the 90's, I bet we got shot at as many times as you did. It sucked when we ran out of soda in the soda machines.

Oh wait, what was the ribbon you got?

I got the Southwest Asia Expeditionary Medal with 2, count 'em, 2 bronze stars.

Both GWOTs + the OIF ribbon. They don't issue service stars on GWOT ribbons.

Also, wouldn't that be three times deployment if there are two stars?

[regexcellent]

Hey guys, I'm getting a medal from my ROTC cadre for having a GPA above 3.0! Go me, right?

Nope, you got one star with the ribbon.

GWOT sounds like a gedunk medal, like the National Defense Service Medal.

ACK!

That was kinda my point, expeditionary medals aren't that big a deal.

ACK!

ACK!

Can't get GWOT wihtout actually, you know, deploying in support of GWOT. There are some people who go to, like, England or some place and they qualify for the GWOT Service, but Expeditionary requires you to be a little bit closer to where the shooting is.

Yeah, Service = National Defense
Expeditionary = Southwest Asia.

Still, I'm sure you weren't shot at, much like me.

ACK!

[Lonestar]

Yeah, Service = National Defense
Expeditionary = Southwest Asia.

Still, I'm sure you weren't shot at, much like me.

ACK!

Guess again skippy.

[Kidlicious]

A lot of us that were nerds in high school got beat up by the jocks for being nerds. We didn't respond by having parades. We went out in the real world, made money, stole their women, and relegated them to picking up our trash. That's the way it's done. Well I guess it would be silly for the gays to steal our women. But you get my point.

Hmmm... You're kind of like those people you talk about.

[Al B. Sure!]

Hey guys, I'm getting a medal from my ROTC cadre for having a GPA above 3.0! Go me, right?

Army. Medals for everybody!

[Uncle Sparky]

Maybe if the government gave people medals for being gays, they wouldn't need parades.
