rppearso here's a quote for you "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf" (goerge orwell)

your leeching under the blanket of freedom created by said "rough men" i may not be old enough to go overseas yet but on my 18th i'm signing up for the next rotation for the big A
and am already serving in one of my nations many reserve units and what's with all the self centered talk about engieers you don't think it's a good idea to have engineers overseas say in afghanistan or iraq to help plan and execute, and coordinate the rebuilding of the country? i thought that's what some engineer's do? don't you think a few educated people helping other people trying to survive is a good thing or not because they'll get hazed or what the hell you say happened

You clearly just totally missed everything I was trying to say and just responded with a canned answer,

You sign dotted line aahhhh
You go iraq
You no think for yourself

defcons response was intellegent even though I disagreed with parts of what he said, its fun to debate. But you just repeated a slogan off off army propoganda.

FYI this nation does so well at defending itself because of the weapons systems that our scientists and engineers are able to create, in the iraq war we are fighting with both hands tied behind our back hopping around on one leg with out our weapons systems our "rough men" get shot and die like anyone else and that is why we are loosing and thats why we lost vietnam, we won WW2 because we used the full extent of our technology in a fight for our life, we dident think oh it might hurt the japeneese feelings if we nuke them we just got er done and not one american had to die invading the main land. This nation has the most destructive and technologicly advanced weapons systems this world has ever know and they are rarely if ever used, we could stomp the entire middle east into dust without using one nuke. Our politicians are a joke and our military is a joke, as soon as there was even mention of engaging in hand to hand combat with bums in the desert before our vast technological arsonal was expended there should have been mass resigning of military commanders. This country will slowly rot away unless some dramatic changes are made.

What is this we stuff dropout?

Way to debate harryP. Why did you even bother logging on to write that. Since I pay taxes and I work in a field that supplies this nation with energy I will say "we" regardless of your opinion on that matter.

HarryP you have the "becasue im in the military it precludes me from being a stupid idiot" syndrome.

I don't know where this veneration of engineers and contempt for everyone else comes from rppearso but doesn't that seem a little naive? There can be no question that our military relies on everyone within its ranks from the generals, to the engineers, to the infantry to keep it running smoothly. You take out any one of those factors and the result would be catastrophic. No one part of our military can be accredited with winning a war all alone. Technology does not win wars. You can say that the "nuking" of japan was technology ending a war but you can't forget the men who risked it all to utilize that technology. Technological superiority is important theres no question about that but its the way in which such technology is utilized that determines its effect. The engineers are invaluable in the protection of our country but so are the individuals that take the time to learn and employ the technology the engineers have created.

The use of force in iraq on the scale you talk about would cause MASS ammounts of collateral damage not only in property but in lives as well. There would be no "rebuilding of iraq" because there would be nothing to rebuild and no one to rebuild it. While i do admit that at times the idea of "wiping the slate clean" through complete destruction can seem attractive the fact of the matter is that its unrealistic. How would we as a nation look if we bombed an infinitely weaker international entity back into the stone age? While the current state of international affairs is not to say the least optimal. It is the way things are and we can't afford to have our allies distance themselves from us any more than they already have as a result of a rash decision.

However thats just my opinion, feel free to disagree.

Zach,

I'm afraid that you're wasting your virtual "breath" on rrepeatso here. Most of the board regulars here gave up on him a while ago, since he's proven to us that the only person he cares about is himself, and screw everyone else if they don't do things the way he thinks they should be done. If you look around at some of his previous posts, you'll see what I'm talking about, so I won't go into details here.

Anyway, it may be a little late, but welcome to the board. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders, keep your wits about you and don't let the local troll (rrpearso) harass you too much. Just remember that if you get cornered, call in close air support and duck!

Thanks for the heads up, I checked out his previous posts like you said and I see what you meant. Thanks for the warning and welcome.

This nation should never ask its military to fight and die in a pointless war.

you mother should never have asked your father to make a baby with her

She didn't.

OH SNAP.

Ooh im so offended by a "your momma" joke. When you have an intellegent rebuke let me know.

rrpearso is a drain baby. he didn't need a momma.

One day, God willing, he will look up rebuke in the dictionary and discover the true root to his ignorance.
