You know something Marine? You might have made it here. You have a hard ass attitude. But there is only one problem. You fucked the dog just like the Fuckstick with the knife did in the beginning by not posting an intro to start with.
If you are a Marine, and you are a Nam Vet, I commend you and thank you for your service. I personally choose to respect other services and Nam Vets especially, even though some don't deserve it. Respect is something earned not given.
But to come in here not follow simple instructions, disrespect us and call us pussies is poor lack of discipline and professionalism that I myself thought the Marines were known for. And that is totally disgusting as far as I'm concerned. You personally have brought discredit to the Corp itself with your actions here.
And as for combat experience, don't be so quick to come to conclusions. There are members here that have multiple combat tours in multiple conflicts ranging from Nam to present. There are members here that have more or less been in the same shoes as you.
If you would choose to rescind your statement and become a contributing member of this board so be it. If you choose not to, I will personally post a motion to ban along with tokenman67. If you choose to keep showing disrespect in our house I myself and I'm sure other members of this board will change our tone on this matter.
The Marine here didnt disrespect us. He called it as he sees it, and as I see it.
Since so many of us are behaving childishly here on a public thread, I'm calling it in public.
"quiet professionals", my ass.
If we're going to piss on every stranger who appears to make our exclusivity all the more unique, lets just make this site 'invite only' and we won't have to associate with lesser beings, especially those with the guts to call it as they see it.

I still stand by my prior post and say who is he to ask were people were when his leg got lost. He was right that the behavior or replies were less than respectable. However, his own post was just another less than respectable retort not unlike ours.

I hear you, I'm not saying we invite in a purple dinosaur & get all Barney & shit - but we reap what we sow.
Ballbusting the Marine is fair game & he'll take in kind, especially the posts concerning where we were when.
All the F/U's to greet a 16 year old kid in a previous thread had me primed to go off anyway.
If I say any more in this thread, that dead horse won't have but bones left.

He disrespected us, the board, and the community as a whole.
Yes, he has a valid point and so do you. But that is no reason for him to disregard board rules and act in the manner that he did.
I think I did a pretty good job in pointing that out and stating my reasoning, instead of doing my normal flame.
