Default For gamers and gaming

Yes, I feel sorrow that a group of SEALs decided to blow the lid off of what Russia, China, and every enemy we have, likely already know through their own intelligence services - cause most secret material is only really secret to the tax paying denizens of the country ordering the secrecy. I feel sorrow that those men will have no future career in the Navy (the most splendid war machine yet devised by the world - since the Imperial navy has decided (to my regret) to stay benched until now as regards a real war footing and war efforts.

But this is a new generation of SEAL warriors - who likely grew up on computer and video games and were perhaps even recruited in childhood to the service in the Navy by SAID GAMES. So they knew well what their first CALL TO DUTY was - it was to give the rest of us a really realistic die for game experience. I know what will be on my next GIVE ME list!

What? Most of your post does not make any sense to honest. Are you trying to say that video games make better elite warriors or that cheese is tasty I'm not sure?

What Imperial Navy? The Kaisers Navy or the Japanese Navy or maybe the old Czars of Russias Imperial Navy the Navy of the United Kingdom the once mighty British Empire which I believe you are thinking of is called the Royal Navy and has been for a very long time.

I regret to inform you but no elite warrior grew up playing video games as their main pass time.

The guys that where on the Bin Laden mission where the elite of the elite even by Navy SEAL standards they would have been SEALs for several years before being invited into the Naval Special Warfare Group(aka Seal Team Six).

I am un sure what makes you think that because a Navy SEAL was on a particular mission that this ends his career.

If you are saying that men who fight in wars are there to provide good ideas for a video game you are sadly mistaken and also in my opinion insulting them.

Guys in the Navy or any branch for that matter that play COD are usually desk jockies.

He's referring to how chatty Navy SEALS are. Check the World Naval News: Navy SEALs reprimand meant to send message to other SEALs

Well he could have just said that and it does not surprise me that SEALs or any other elite forces type of person might be chatty they have Type A personalities
and cant help promoting themselves and to some extent brag.A bit of a double edged sword I reckon.His rant would have made sense with just that little tid bit of information.


Also in my experience most military members flap their mouths too much.I used to always tell people to shut up when in Germany when they sat there talking about our base and such when off base any intel is useful intel to the right ears.

For the SEALs that helped with the game I do not feel sorrow for them they got what they deserved and endangered their fellow SEALs in the process.The reason is because they know just as any other person in the military what their security clearance (a SEALs would be very high)and as a result they know what they should and should not say and anyone with a high security clearance gets reminded of this very often.

Default i admit Steal head

I wasn't writing for you. I knew that and I thought you'd know it.

But perhaps you were confused because not only is the Japanese navy not the Imperial navy (a rose by any other name) but you no doubt caught my sight allusion to "Fur Kaiser und Reich" in my post title, "For gamers and gaming." Yes, allusions do tend to add to illusions.

I am not trying to be rude or anything but your method of writing is very hard to understand.You are from Colorado so I assume that English is your primary language yet your grammar
implies other wise or implies that you do not care to use it.Not to say that my grammar is perfect but I do try to make what I post at least understandable.

You first post about Navy SEALs helping with the production of a video game yet fail in any way to explain that this is what you where wishing to express your opinion about it was only after Neal Stevens figured this out that others knew what exactly you where posting about and that is most likely becuase Neal Runs the sight and had posted a link on the SEAL story.

You misunderstand that when I mentioned the Imperial Japanese Navy that I was referring to the navy that existed from 1869-1947. I am not confused in the slightest way.Though I am confused how the title "For gamers and gaming" has anything to with German patriotism.

I did not think that you wrote your post just for me but you posted it in general topics and general topics is where people post things that they wish to discuss in some way this is what I choose to do based on your allusion heavy OP.

Too much allusion leads to illusion that is true but in this case that was your fault not mine.

When a person is very new to a forum his writing style and general views are unknown and one can not expect for others based on nothing to know when such a person is being sarcastic or using allusion or what ever when they do not even bother to explain in anyway what it is that they are talking about.If you take a moment to look through this forum you will see that in many threads within the OP it is made clear what the subject matter is via a link or even and explanation of the event/news/specific topic that is on the OPs mind.

I'm sorry, "Medal of Honor Warfighter" and "realistic" does not compute.
