The Blue Board

Just expressing my opinion like everyone else I did not come over here to be called ignorant, dude or get my ass down voted off and all that other dumb shit! I am not blood thirsty but I am a former Marine and know a troubled region when I see one so you guys can set back and sprinkle fairy dust on the Muslims for all I care but what I know is that it is them that has been killing Americans and others for the past two decades and none of the so called minions you guys are talking about have stepped up to stop the so called few from doing all of the murdering so until that happens as far as I am concerned they are all connected!

Just because you served in the military does not mean you are right. There is a reason an elected civilian is commander in chief.

I said it was JMO (just my opinion) just like what everyone else has! Read all the posts and not just the last two heated ones that stemmed from name calling and down vote barrage and you will clearly see that I did not claim anything but my opinion and those that I thought I was having a conversation with had a right to theirs as well, I read all of the posts before I started shooting my mouth off which is something we all should do but like I said it is just my opinion.

Way to shoe horn an entire population into your own stereotype. Racist much?

I agree completely Israel is one of our only true allies left. We cannot let radical islamists take over or destroy Israel. We must act swiftly and decisively.

Hoorah Devil Dog! I understand some of your feelings but it is a mistake to think you are the only one with any knowledge or opinion on this subject.

Once again. Please refrain from posting till you can provide some type of substance.

Irishimpact does this routine in nearly every thread. Just another angry ignorant guy wanting to bully you on the internet.

Sorry but In my 4 years I saw more than my share. 4 years 23 months of deployment. I can't tell you how many times I was shot at. Not some guy on a FOB who "got shot at" but rounds fired at me, including one that caught me in the back! If it wasn't for IBA I would be paralyzed or worse. Thats not going into ied's. Until you have something to add to this conversation that is valid, I would suggest you shut the hell up and not criticize a veteran.

Since you are high and mighty, how about your extensive qualifications on this subject? Deployments? A degree in foreign affairs? anything?

IBA=improved body armor

I didn't realize it. We were talking to a family that kept giving us good intel in Kandahar and walked out of the house, next thing I knew I was laying with my face on the ground. The 11 year old son of the guy we were talking to was trying to pull me to sagety while my guys were returning fire. I jumped up, grabbed the kid(we basically kidnapped him for the night), and jumped in the truck. On our way back everyone was asking me if I was allright and I was like yeah I'm good, what happened. They said I got shot and I told them they were nuts. I took my IBA off and it caught an AK round that would have hit dead center of my back. Didn't feel nothing until the next morning and I had a bruise the size of a volleyball on my back. Hurt like hell for a week.

Biggest crock ever. Unless everything you ever did while deployed is classified then you can talk about it. As someone with a TS clearance I can assure you I have a ton of stuff I can't talk about. But ANYONE who was deployed can tell you stuff.

So in summary try again troll.

That's where the best generals come from, hoss. Grunts develop true leaders.

As far as this da irishimp is concerned, its ok to fear...but let's not be fear mongers.

I have personally witnessed the results of violence caused by hatred and ignorance; this includes attacks by Muslim extremists as well as the Israeli army. Neither is innocent of blood-lust revenge.

I can also guarantee from personal experience that Israel will not hesitate to bomb Iran when they feel the threat is imminent. They could squash the Iranian defenses like a bug, but then their domestic terrorism will increase ...has the game "Crusades-Nuclear Edition" been invented yet?
