[bradclark1]

Stop trolling for an argument bradclark1. And you are either oblivious, or patently dishonest. You came into this thread in a hostile, name-calling manner, and were objecting to a point of view that did not allow the false assertions that the military seems to target only poor people in less affluent areas.

Nobody but you says they target only poor people in less affluent areas. He said they are targeted. No only to it. You seem to agree. Why the flip flop Sea Demon?

Of course they are? So what? This is how it's always been.

Can't make up your mind? My daughter started receiving phone calls from recruiters at 16. I don't see anything wrong with that but he does. I don't agree with him but he has that right. Those graphs show where a majority of our men and women come from. What groups are larger? It shouldn't be any surprise and it's probably the same in most countries that rely on a volunteer voice.

And according to you, there is no comment on this thread that disrespects our military, hmmm? Well, Mr. SH referred to US military recruiters as "those bastards". But that doesn't seem to bother you does it? Or it's not worthy of your consideration. Maybe you think he's accurate. Who knows? This is actually what he said:

And he followed it up with

Indeed we do. The war is on, and it will be on for quite a while, I'd imagine, and I will henceforth give my regards and support to the men fighting in it. However, I will not support a government that wishes to continue the war.

Instead you attack the guy defending the honor of military recruiters. Don't look for adoration when doing that. Oh, and when did I call him an ignorant foreigner? I just can't seem to find the quote.

Here it is.

The problem is SH, you came into my country, and you began listening to left-wing Democrats about the nature of this country. Along the way, you have been made to believe the stupidity of Democrat activists. I find it sad that there are foreign people who come into the USA for whatever reason, and waste their time believing the false ideas and spin driven by America hating leftists. It's a shame really. The above youtube clip is from a parody item that relates to military recruiters changing requirements to meet current goals. It's brought to you by a spinning lefty who has an agenda against fox news. Nothing more than that really.

And here is my reaction to it.

You are one sick puppy Sea Demon. Believe it or not not everyone is a Democrat or Republican. You can be left or right leaning and still not be either. I know thats hard for you to grasp but try it. Try not to insult people just because they disagree with you. Everything is not of a political bent in life. Stealth Hunter has been through what you obviously haven't and have no concept of so give him the respect he is due.

Get over yourself brad. You're not the grand protector of right and wrong. Nor are you the judge of good speech, or hostile speech. Especially since you disqualify yourself with your own smart-a%% comments.

No I'm not but if I see you being insulting or belittling to someone I'll step in every time.
Does this seem the comments of a rational person? I think not.

I've been to several protests to laugh at the kooks there. I've even had one of the "Black Bloc" activists threaten me with physical violence. Of course I laughed in his face. Trust me, these people are Democrat activists and socio-paths of many varieties. And liberals of varying intensities. But they are indeed liberals in the modern sense.

He started it with me by calling me "hot-shot" in a very condescending manner. That guy not only defamed US military recruiters, he proceeds to insult me.

I wouldn't call that patronizing or superior. read the whole paragraph.

Let me tell you something, hot-shot, war is not a game. If you're so damn ready to head off into the breach, then be my guest. I'm not going to stop you. But let me tell you this, when you go and when you see the bodies, when you smell the blood and the rotting flesh, when you feel the heat from an explosion or the cold sensation of wet blood, then you're not going to feel so gung-ho anymore. When you watch your best friend lose his head to a grenade, you'll understand. When you have bullets aimed at YOU, you'll understand.

And so should you with your little grandstanding episodes, and feeble insults.

You like to fight and get insulting when people don't bow to your opinion. I like to fight you when you do. If you would treat your opponent with any respect you wouldn't hear a word from me regarding your manner. It would just be subject matter.
Try it.

Bottom line though, and you better listen good. I will not allow somebody to falsely diminish the roles of our military recruiters or say demeaning things about them that are untrue. They have a very difficult mission to fulfill. You seemingly don't give a crap, but now you pretend that it's an issue for you.

Funny, I don't remember me diminishing the rolls of recruiters. I remember saying a few times I don't see anything wrong in recruiters tactics. I have though said the SH is entitled to his opinion. Perhaps you can show me. You can't though can you?

You are a fraud. Simply put. Otherwise perhaps you would have seen another angle instead of just coming into this thread like you do.

Like I do? I seem to remember being pretty on topic until the last paragraph where I called you on your personal comments. If you don't like it, treat people with respect then I won't have a reason to call you on it.

You are getting nowhere. And you just can't backpeddle like you think you can.

Show me where I backpedal on anything. You are letting your imagination run rampant again.

You have not shown any support for our people in uniform here, and have been on the side that marginalizes them. You have given the perception of yourself, but are left unable to redefine it. And I find it hilarious.

I listen to the vets at the hospital and give them a nonjudgmental ear. I'll shake their hand and and give them my thanks. I'll buy them a burger. Give them smokes if they are out and I drop soda off at the psych ward. What do you do besides run your mouth?
