So in your estimation being around military personal for countless hours shouldn't influence the way I see them. In fact I should just believe the online rantings of anonymous online posters.
You do neither, so why start now? You could actually join and get deployed and see what really happens, but we all know that isn't going to happen. There's a difference between "I saw a guy in military clothes," versus "I helped clear an insurgent filled building with this guy, then went back to tent city and played a game of Yu-Gi-Oh with 'em."

Tell you what; buy my agency for 500k and i'll join tomorrow.
If it was worth that, you could find a buyer yourself.
If you're going to say you could easily find a buyer for that price, then there's no reason for you not to join if your only requirement is a $500k buy-out.
So are you going to sit there and tell me that playing ball every day for over 6yrs with military personnel isn't going to give me any insight into what they're like?
Not as much as someone who's actually been under fire with them. Yours is an asusmption, the other is actual experience.
Of course. You obviously forgot you've never actually read Don Quixote, and that your nodding acquaintance with references to it in pop culture left you with the impression a windmill was somehow involved without clarifying what the windmill was supposed to be.
Or I simply made a faux paux.
Sure. Okay. I get ogres and dragons mixed up every day.

What's the matter, your country not good enough to defend?

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.

o⋅gre   –noun 1. a monster in fairy tales and popular legend, usually represented as a hideous giant who feeds on human flesh. 2. a monstrously ugly, cruel, or barbarous person.
The book says giants, the musical Man of La Mancha uses the word "ogre" instead. I went with that, because I like the word "ogre" better.
You don't have to believe. You don't have to believe that I'm going back to Iraq in a few months either. That's your choice. Its also good to see you admit that you hate America.
