Greetings and Salutations to all the Super Soldiers of this community. As a Super Soldier, you have volunteered your life to the duty of your country without regard for accolades or recognition. I salute and recognize each and every one of you personally. Thank you for your service in the past, present, and future in the duty of our great nation. Keeping the United States safe from prying eyes, inquisitive bugs, and unknown oppositions, has never been an easy task, nor should it be left to the oversight of the average American. If not for this reason alone, Rangers Lead The Way. Rangers are the first in, and often, Pop Smoke only when prudent to do so.
"Eyes on the World"
A Message to Prospective Poseurs and Sociopaths in Training:
No amount of Hollywood blockbusters, nor dime store novels, nor Google searches will ever give you the right to super-impose someones experience as your own. Nor will you ever be able to pass yourself off convincingly. There are unknowns in battle and training missions which cannot be described in adjectives, but only felt in emotion. It is this emotion which will always give you away.

Re: Greetings and Salutations
Sorry all. I dont have any units to list. I was just looking for an uncle who was with the 2ND rangers. No one has heard from him in some time. Thanks

Explain yourself and be damn quick about it! Patience, unlike my size 14 boot, isn't a virtue I have.

Re: Greetings and Salutations
Flesh thorn ( and deeply worn) would you have me list all as deciphered individually and listed? Is it still a generalis(z)ation calling one as to which they are tabbed? Surely we dont call all straight legged grunts as such due to their mannerism, nor propensity for dysfunction. Shall we? Funny, I was just in Virginny.

Re: Greetings and Salutations
Shut your fucking pie hole. You still haven't told us a damn thing about who you are or why you came here, other than a vague reference to an uncle. If you next post doesn't outline these things, then you are likely going down a hole.....Revravyid wrote:blah blah blah blah blah

Re: Greetings and Salutations
I despise pie. Holes arent much fun, either.... Guess some of you (Rangers. better?), could smell the placating BS better than others. So be it.
I have lost my mind. Or perhaps am nearing the bitter precipice onto which it is attached, per chance nearly dethatched, as if lawn freshly mowed for the last time at falls end...
Blah, fucking blah.
Nuke Pakistan? Spoken like a true killer. But, what of the innocent countrymen? Not all Paki's are foes. There is such a thing as
"Diplomacy", and for good reason. A "Kill 'em all" philosophy will never justify a means to no end.
My next post will probably not outline anything about who I am... "Down in a hole, losing my soul, out of control...."
It would probably be a good idea, for lack of better adjectives, to delete my ability to post further. I am not certain I can contain myself from continually replying to messages, which I, Naturally have no business responding to, nor typing on. You see, there is a little jealousy mixed in among the rest. Who would have known you would have to pass a Psych Eval. in order to receive a "Secret" clearance. Those darn SWCS!

Re: Greetings and Salutations
A man who can not read is illiterate. Here is what are patiently waiting for you to read before you post anymore. You have been asked to make a proper introduction already. You failed to follow written instruction initially and an admin had to take time out of his busy schedule to move your attempted intro to the correct area.Revravyid wrote:

Re: Greetings and Salutations
Do yourself a favor & share your validation response with our merry band of Rangers.
In the old days you would have been slapped, kicked and a few stomps for good measure. These days we are attempting to go a little easier on the masses.
Except for the medical profession, scientist, archaeologist, soldiers searching a/the body, observing the uniform/dress, hygiene, weapon(s), food, water. Guess you missed a few here bla bla bla.
