Default A military perspective...

This may have already been posted, and I just missed it...if so, I apologize in advance. I didn't write this, and I don't agree with all of it (some of it may even be false), but I think the point is a good one. Hopefully it won't get deleted immediately as being too political...

Tedow, I got my arse chew off yesterday for posting something very similar. I was told I was being disrespectful to the Forum and that it was CNN diatribe etc., by a moderator who was having a bad day! I guess it's not permitted for us not to be able to make personal attacks but they're allowed. I thought about this last night quite hard and came to this conclusion. I removed it only because I said that I would. But I'm asking the owner about the content and we'll see if it is or not. If this is OK to print, then someone owes this Forum a sincere apology as well as certain individuals. When I'm wrong I admit it in public but when I'm right, watch out. We'll see!! If we are expected to play by the rules then I expect no less from others, including moderators. Just fair warning! I'd like to comment but I'll reserve it until the POLITICS of this board are straightened out!

I like this guy. He tells it like it is in a sarcastic, humorous way. Balls to the wall with production of the F22 Raptor next generation stealth/air superiority fighter -- with thrust vectoring! Give the USAF every F22 it wants. At $200 million a copy, it's a steal!

I agree totally. It would really stink for this to be removed from the boards, it's so true.

Hey, if the content of this thread is deemed inappropriate, I'll have no problem with removing it. I just felt this was a message that needed to be seen by the people of this country, so I posted it here, where intelligent folks with good taste (well, most of us anyway ) would read and consider its merit.

And Raptor, Amen brutha! Note my user icon over there .

Thank you Tedow...

Being a former military serviceman, I totally agree with what was posted. I was in Saudi when the bombing happened. 19 people got killed. It was tragic...

I totally agree with the repost of what Tedow posted. Thank you.

What do you guys want me to say?
I'm pretty sure you all know the boards feelings on this. Are you hoping that this may be a grey area?
To tell you the truth, I'm just too lazy to make those extra few mouse cliks with this one, If any one wants a rundown on the board policy regarding threads on polotics, and other questionable topics PM me and I'll be happy to spell them out for you.
But like I said, I'm pretty sure everyone knows by now...

I will do the clicking for ya mindcore.

I am sorry, but we can't have grey areas, and no double standards.

Moderators are allowed bad days, and I apologize to those whom have been affected.
