It does sound like this is out of Petraeus' book.

This dude is clearly trying to insinuate he is more informed on Afghan culture and people than almost every soldier on the scene, including SnC. And to be blunt, thats his at ude on damn near everything. If He had any bit of intelligence, I might let him slide. But he doesnt. Most of his analyses are complete disasters, he usually misses the mark on any given topic, and when he runs out of points he usually goes for a personal attack. him, he's a total ...there is absolutely nothing good to say about a guy that will trash a dead man and talk down about soldiers in general.
Nice meltdown, Parker. Plenty more where that came from, I bet.
No meltdown here...RG gets the treatment he deserves.
That slimy post was simply RG's way of boasting that he is smarter than 90%+ percent of the servicemen fighting in the armed forces. All while they engage the people first-hand, and he sits behind a computer monitor with a thumb up his ass.
The worst part: you know that the guy's posts are chocked full of misleading, conceited-for-no-appearant-reason, self-aggrandizing, error-filled analytical failures... and yet you allow his bull to ride unchecked.
When you see me throw insults toward RG its not about anger. Its about disclosure. Light of day for this rank .
And WH, You chase me around this forum like a school girl following the bad boy around campus after he took her virginity at a party. Get off my already.
You've favored us with another nice tantrum.
So magnanimous, so soon after the first one.![]()
if you're for real snc, God bless you and bring you home safely: you guys are the .
I don't understand why we (Americans) think that we can get it done over there.
The Russians couldn't do it and basicly left with their tail between their legs. And the Russians weren't exactly pansies. Thank god its becoming clear that we need to get the out of there. The longer we stay the more we just prolong the inevitable. I hope you come back safe dude. I have a few friends and a brother in law over there and I know it's no picnic.
We will stay long enough to get the booty.

Unfortunately knowledge of the ins and out of Iraq would provide little insight into Afghanistan, were it so.
The average US military recruit could no more name the major ethnicities, languages, or religious denominations of Afghanistan than you could before we went into Afghanistan without using google, dip . Americans in general really really suck at that.
Soldiers on the ground get VERY myopic when it comes to the countries they serve in, simply because their field of vision is pretty narrow. They are topical experts on their limited areas of operations, but you have to take a LOT of accounts and put them together before you get a coherent picture.
The fact that the OP is ing about his rules of engagement, and the manner in which he did it very clearly demonstrates that he was not familiar with the specifics of WHY.
As for "trashing a dead man": go yourself, Floride-boy. I did no such thing.
If you want to be butt-hurt about getting spanked over your lame conspiracy theories, fine, but don't make up.

I was an intelligence analyst for the US army during the first Gulf War, and have been studying off and on for the State Department's Foreign Service Officer Test, as I have been mulling applying.
At the time of my service from 89-93 I spent a good deal of time studying Iraq as part of my job, and subsequently kept fairly current, especially in the run up to the 2003 invasion.
As soon as the second plane hit WTC2, I knew we were going to invade Afghanistan and why. I have also spent a good deal of time reading up on both the Soviet invasion, and current events. I directly remember watching news accounts of the invasion in my teens, and it was interesting to catch up.
Do I have some formal education in the history of the area? No.
Do I know a of a lot more about yet another topic than you do? Yes.
Quit being so butthurt about your mediocrity. It gets old.
lol @ atomic pqn by RG.
You might want to lie down for a bit after that, Parker.![]()
My own recollection is that SnC did a previous tour in Afghanistan. I could easily be wrong about that.
For better and for worse, Parker is impervious to pqns.
This forum, therefore, is just another comfy sofa to stifle his farts in.
iWachale! Here comes a big one!

Honestly I usually reserve the utmost respect for those who serve. But I think your lack of respect for damn near anybody who isnt RG warrants . So, thanks for your service, asshole.
Did you ever step foot in Iraq? Because the guys your talking about are in harms way. Were you ever in harms way? Because the way you carry yourself here, you sound like a backstabbing, sniveling little who would have spent most of their time doing paperwork while others faced life and death. Im just saying.
I think you ing suck. Nothing butthurt about it.
Nice rant, crankypants. You're on a roll.
Horse . You got in that thread from others over the same thing. I didnt say anything because you got what you had coming. You show your true colors every time you open your mouth, without fail. Rank Vagina 24-7.
Spanked? You couldnt get past saying the words "conspiracy theory" and "fluoride-boy" to discuss anything with intelligence. Which is all the same, because you had nothing to contribute anyway.
Again you.
(Credit where credit's due. "Rank vagina 24-7" debuted prominently ^^^.)
