-----Ever heard of "*** details", Blerb? If you espouse an openly
liberal POV, you may well find promotion paperwork getting lost and
assignments to *** details. And, nowadays, claim to be an atheist if
you
really want to get singled out.

I ran this left wing looney tune of yours past two of my military buddies
the other day. They think you must be some kind of nut case.


----Lifers, right?

Nope. One was one was not. And as a matter of fact the so called lifer went
on to a stellar coporate career after he got out. I love it when you jump to
conclusions to reinforce your prejudices.

The first one
was a Navy guy that ran boats in support of seals. He had a lot of fun
down
in South America. His reply was no one ever told what he could listen to,
read, or watch. He was free to do whatever he wanted. Watch it, listen
to
it, or read it.


----Well, sure you can. I never said you couldn't, your reading
comprehension is flaring up something terrible. I said they could, and
possibly would, make your life miserable if they knew you were a
liberal, or an atheist, and chose to do so. Especially an e-1 to e-3
rank, where you have almost no rights whatsoever.

Bosh no one ever gave it a second thought around me. No one cared. Another
of your fairy tales or did you just land in some route step penal battalion?
Maybe you are just a wee bit paranoid.


He laughed and said your idea of making troops listen to
Limbaugh was a good idea.

----It's not my idea, it's reality.

Really? They make the troops listen to Limbaugh? You just contradicted
yourself. Par for the course.

You should know that, following
Fox news and all. They don't *have* to listen, it's the only choice
available.

They have to listen they dont have to listen. Which is it?

By the way he said no one ever asked him what his
religion was either.

-----Really? He must be a liar, because my religion was on my dog tags
when I was in, I'm sure it was in my SRB, they ask you your religion
when you enlist.

And what? Everyone reads your dogtags after that to see what you are. In
every assignment you go to. Ane then they sit around and say let's get
McStupid cause he is a shaman and reads "Das Capital." Get real Dudsy. Never
happens.n You sound like that journalist on Sixty Minutes that said " and
there was a book on the SS in a room in the citadel." DUMB!

My other buddy is a retired Special Forces guy. Career soldier.

----Of course. A lifer. I would expect as much.

Glad you did. Because after he got out he went into business did quite well,
then sold his business, and went to work for South Central Bell and did
quite well in the coporate world - from which he finally retired. So much
for your stupid bigotry and pre judgement. You really are kind of a dumbass
with your statements.



He said when
he was in Nam he hooked up a shortwave and listened to BBC. He was there
more than once. No one ever asked him what his religion was either.
Same for me.

----Really? What did they put on *your* dog tags? In boot camp, they
didn't ask you what services you'd attend?

No. Why would they? The did not ask anyone else either.

There's a fine example
right there, Blurb. In boot camp, those that chose not to attend
services did chores back at the squad bay. Next Sunday, everybody
attended services....

A fine example of what Dudsy. Did you voluteer or where you drafted?


So what were doing McStupid? Rolling bones, sacrficing chickens, and
dancing
around the campfire? I am beginning to think you would make a good
sandbag
and not much else.

----That's probably why I got out after one hitch. I knew I could make
it on the outside.

Yeah - the main problem is you cannot get wealthy. It is nice to do that.
Times up McCrite.
