I've had lots of experience with people like you. Arrogant and stupid beyond idiot. Most make a career in the military because the real world is to hard for them. Brag all you want it's funny and worth the thread for now. Soon the posters will forget and completely ignore you. It's more than easy by just setting the filters.
Given that you don't know my past, I'm confident that the "real world" is not too hard for me. I also didn't know that the military was not "the real world. Hmmmm..
I haven't been bragging about anything and I've mentioned that several times. Someone said that I made a poor career choice, I asked how by stating the benefits that I've received from my career choice. As opposed to admitting that I didn't make a poor career choice, you's all's guys selfes continue to say that I'm bragging. That in itself is evident that you don't believe that I made a poor career choice or you wouldn't consider it worthwhile bragging.
To be truthfully honest, I'm far from arrogant. I consider myself intellectual, but not necessarily smart. I only act like this on this forum because of the people on this forum. When I was in college, I had Cal III and beginner Spanish back to back. I would leave Cal III being the obvious dumb student to 15 mins later "the smartest student". The weird thing was, I never said or done anything to tip them off on my level of Spanish (which I made an honest effort to hide) and yet everyone looked at me as the "Smart Guy". It was a weird feeling.
I had a very similar feeling leaving my Comp Sci class (being around intelligent people) to ROTC ( being around not so intelligent people).
I have this same feeling with "the real world" and this forum. In the real world, I see myself as the "dumb" person (depending on the crowd) but when I come here and read comments such as these, I feel so much better to know I'm not nearly as dumb as you. To think that there is one single place where so many people think some of the most absurd things... I don't have low self-esteem, but it is a great confidence booster to talk to you all.
P.S. Besides, I didn't start this, I only insult when I'm insulted.
