65th anniversary of JV day

[ETR3(SS)]

War against an already defeated enemy. please. My example is much more pertainant and on point.

Perhaps you are right concerning Lincoln, but regarding JFK and Krushchev...

You are just a poor cold warrior without the knowledge to make the correct decisions. Perhaps that is why you rose to that high rank of ETR3.

Wow. Just wow. Have we served together? Do you know anything about my service? What knowledge do I lack to make the "correct" decisions? Are you implying that I wouldn't use nuclear weapons if it came down to it? Because I can assure you that I had no qualms when it came to my job and would do my part in executing those orders if they were given. And as for my high rank of ETR3, I was ahead of the advancement curve seeing as I enlisted as an E-1.

Wow. Just wow. Why are you so heated by my answer? Did I hit a cord?

Do you feel you could have done more in defense of your country? Do you feel guilty now because of your current feelings about nuclear deterence?

is it just because you feel your pride for the question?

I mean nothing bad. I'm just trying to share my opinion, and reconcile it with the answers.

Now, see, this is why people don't want to play with you, so to speak. You can't seem to interact with someone with an opposing viewpoint without insulting them. Why such anger?

I was just responding to the question.

Post #25 shows my attempt at being sporting.

That's no response. That's just plain insulting, and there is no need for it.

OK I'll give you that I was trying to get him to admit to the falacy of his argument, as a former ETR3. But it doesn't mean I ignore his service, or overtly insult him. If I have done so, sorry sweat heart, perhaps we can take the let me cry train to some place special for you.

And see, now you're going after me. You just can't play nice, can you? Really, I don't know why you take every discussion so personally.

I tried; I give up.

Are you capable of having a decent discussion without resorting to personal insults? There was no need for that remark at all. No one has spoken to you that way.

Your answer isn't what caused me to become heated. I even admitted that you could be right about Lincoln. What caused me to become heated was your insult on my service.

Do you feel you could have done more in defense of your country? Do you feel guilty now because of your current feelings about nuclear deterence?

I chose my job in the Navy and performed my duties, there was nothing more I could do to contribute. My feelings about nuclear deterrence have not changed since I joined the Navy.
