    what's funny is i know lil'mo and your perception of him is completely wrong
    would that be the part about him smoking weed or the part about him being a bag "look at me, i'm a rebel, 'cause i said something to piss you off" type?

    Would we maintain our freedoms and rights without a military, Level 60 Dragon Master?
    Yes, would our rights and freedoms magically disappear if the military was dissolved? Please explain how

    I dunno whats going on, but I've never met a military person that actually expected thanks for their job. Most people out of the middle east are scarred for life and don't want to talk about any of it. That's what people respect. They don't care about the propaganda lines of defending freedom or whatever. They say "thanks for going to and back, because I sure wouldn't want to be doing it". Yeah, the average American pitys the soldier. Defending freedom is a relic of past wars or a propaganda line.

    The only ones that deserve scorn are the politicians that ship out the kids to die. Shooting people and dying is more than a job. It is basic human combat and survival. People respect that in a modern day where food and cars and entertainment is at your fingertips and the most war that one has experienced is a fist fight or slap.

    But I've never seen someone that wanted thanks. The ones that do are just egotistical guys. They exist in every profession.

    police and contractors couldn't and don't do the same job? Do you or do you not believe that you deserve praise for the work that you do over the work that other people do? That is the question.

    that is probably the first interesting thing anyone has said yet.

    what would happen?

    china owuld probably invade tiawan and get it over with, japan would re-arm in a ing hurry, russia would bully the EU into finally finding its spine, and we might be able to cut taxes across the board.

    nothing there I would particularly dislike, although if china/japan/Korea get into a pissing contest, where am I going to get my TVs from?

    Lil Mo, so who is forcing you to appreciate anyone for anything? I doubt any service members have confronted you and made you tell them thanks for anything. Who cares why they join, whether it be to collect the check, or because they love their country or because they lost a loved one in battle. Why does that matter to you? Youre just too ignorant.

    If youre that upset about them being able to get a free Grandslam Breakfast from Dennys one day out of the year (which you have already mentioned more than once like its a valid point for your useless thoughts) then tell me your Paypal info and Ill personally transfer you the 7 bucks you crying infant.

    So far the only good thing about you is you smoke pot, which you should probably get a hold of some better because when my fellow weed smokers are high we tend to not with anyone for no reason. We just sit in the car for 30 minutes in the driveway until we remember we smoked a bowl because we were craving (a) a Grandslam Breakfast at dennys or (b) moons over my hammy.

    I'm not better than everyone, well, I am, but that's not what this thread is about. Just a simple statement that didn't require 7 pages to get across. I'm not anymore thankful for you doing your job than I am for the trash man, or anyone else, doing their job. Get over yourselves.
    This is the part of the statement that doesn't make any damn sense. Fine, you're not thankful to military members anymore than any othe profession.

    But what makes you think that the military is full of a bunch of respect-craving attention s? I think I already posted something similar but never got a response.

    It's society that chooses to hold military in higher regard, not the military demanding it.

    Your arguments are all misguided and/or uninformed.

    Thanking men for the service of their member is not the same as thanking servicemembers.

    *McGINNIS, ROSS A.

    Rank and Organization: Private First Class, United States Army
    For con uous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty:
    Private First Class Ross A. McGinnis distinguished himself by acts of gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty while serving as an M2 .50-caliber Machine Gunner, 1st Platoon, C Company, 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment, in connection with combat operations against an armed enemy in Adhamiyah, Northeast Baghdad, Iraq, on 4 December 2006.

    That afternoon his platoon was conducting combat control operations in an effort to reduce and control sectarian violence in the area. While Private McGinnis was manning the M2 .50-caliber Machine Gun, a fragmentation grenade thrown by an insurgent fell through the gunner's hatch into the vehicle. Reacting quickly, he yelled "grenade," allowing all four members of his crew to prepare for the grenade's blast. Then, rather than leaping from the gunner's hatch to safety, Private McGinnis made the courageous decision to protect his crew. In a selfless act of bravery, in which he was mortally wounded, Private McGinnis covered the live grenade, pinning it between his body and the vehicle and absorbing most of the explosion.

    Private McGinnis' gallant action directly saved four men from certain serious injury or death. Private First Class McGinnis' extraordinary heroism and selflessness at the cost of his own life, above and beyond the call of duty, are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.

    Rank and organization: Master Sergeant, U.S. Army. Place and date: 3 October 1993, Mogadishu, Somalia. Entered service at: ----- Born: Lincoln, Maine. Citation: Master Sergeant Gordon, United States Army, distinguished himself by actions above and beyond the call of duty on 3 October 1993, while serving as Sniper Team Leader, United States Army Special Operations Command with Task Force Ranger in Mogadishu, Somalia. Master Sergeant Gordon's sniper team provided precision fires from the lead helicopter during an assault and at two helicopter crash sites, while subjected to intense automatic weapons and rocket propelled grenade fires. When Master Sergeant Gordon learned that ground forces were not immediately available to secure the second crash site, he and another sniper unhesitatingly volunteered to be inserted to protect the four critically wounded personnel, despite being well aware of the growing number of enemy personnel closing in on the site. After his third request to be inserted, Master Sergeant Gordon received permission to perform his volunteer mission. When debris and enemy ground fires at the site caused them to abort the first attempt, Master Sergeant Gordon was inserted one hundred meters south of the crash site. Equipped with only his sniper rifle and a pistol, Master Sergeant Gordon and his fellow sniper, while under intense small arms fire from the enemy, fought their way through a dense maze of shanties and shacks to reach the critically injured crew members. Master Sergeant Gordon immediately pulled the pilot and the other crew members from the aircraft, establishing a perimeter which placed him and his fellow sniper in the most vulnerable position. Master Sergeant Gordon used his long range rifle and side arm to kill an undetermined number of attackers until he depleted his ammunition. Master Sergeant Gordon then went back to the wreckage, recovering some of the crew's weapons and ammunition. Despite the fact that he was critically low on ammunition, he provided some of it to the dazed pilot and then radioed for help. Master Sergeant Gordon continued to travel the perimeter, protecting the downed crew. After his team member was fatally wounded and his own rifle ammunition exhausted, Master Sergeant Gordon returned to the wreckage, recovering a rifle with the last five rounds of ammunition and gave it to the pilot with the words, "good luck." Then, armed only with his pistol, Master Sergeant Gordon continued to fight until he was fatally wounded. His actions saved the pilot's life. Master Sergeant Gordon's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest standards of military service and reflect great credit upon him, his unit and the United States Army.

    My problem with military guys is how they start families and say they are enlisting for their kids. But when they get back they spend that money on a new girlfriend and leave their family. this i have seen happen to many times
