You're right I had to work for a living in the Marine Corps. The kind of polish I had to have in order to baby sit a lieutenant and run a rifle platoon was a well polished vocabulary, a loud delivery system, and the attitude to put somebody up on the wall if their ears failed them. Oh, and knowing to do their job better than they did.

So when did you lose all of these supposed traits?

 

[The_Trouvere]

Don't you have some lynching to do?

Right now I am trying to form a vigilante organization for self defense when the Trayvon Martin riots start. After the Africans loot the liquor stores they will get drunk and start looking for whites, Hispanics, and Asians to kill.

 

[KingOrfeo]

i honestly don't see libs calling each other out on their bullshit ever.

Haven't you been paying any attention at all in this thread? Trouvere appears to a liberal in most respects, he and I agree on a lot of points, but I reject (at great length, with cites) his pseudoscientific racism.

 

[KingOrfeo]

That sum bitch couldn't beat his way our of a paper bag. He posted a dumb ass statement.

This --

If you think there's no difference between the parties, look at some recent Supreme Court decisions. Notice a pattern in deciding which justices vote against your interests? That alone is difference enough.

-- is not a dumbass statement, dumbass.

 

[KingOrfeo]

I think it's mostly because the right on here are incredibly stupid. I don't think that's at all true of the right in general but for some reason the ones here are complete fucking idiots.

There's just something about a RW who spends time on a porn board . . .

Just out of curiosity, what use are the lieutenants?

Yes it was.

Officers in the shit. They have to start somewhere. They also get a bad rap based on their inexperience.

If they are a good LT they sign lot's of paperwork and stay the fuck out of everyone's way....that's about it. In combat they are radio jockeys and stay the fuck out of the way.... an LT is just a well paid private.

A bad LT will try and be all in everyone's bidnizz instead of doing what the platoon daddy told him to do...which is to sign paperwork and stay the fuck out of the way.

For the most part, yes. Every grunt has to start as a private, every officer a 90 day wonder.

Prior enlisted = good officer.

Ever see four LT's point north?

I tend to agree but some people just suck at being officers no matter what they did before.

LMAO.

True story....and they might not do well on the upper end of things but the best LT's I ever worked for were E5's first.

In the British Army, if you come up from enlisted, they don't make you a lieutenant after WO, you go straight to captain.

If you read between the lines of Vetty's post, you'll realize he's doing his interpretation of Clint Eastwood in "Heartbreak Ridge".

It's uncanny how virtually all of Vetty's war stories come from "Heartbreak Ridge", "Full Metal Jacket" and "Good Morning Vietnam".

Heartbreak Ridge was a terrible movie. As Clint movies go it's right down there with Bronco Billy.

h.b. was a great movie, gunny highway was a unique and unforgettable character.

I really hope you're being sarcastic.

Fuck 'em all!
Fuck 'em all!
The long and the short and the tall!
Fuck all the sergeants and WO1s
Fuck all the corporals and their bastard sons!
Fuck 'em all!
Fuck 'em all!
As back to our foxholes we crawl!
You'll get no promotion
This side of the ocean
So cheer up, my lads!
Fuck 'em all!

The interesting thing about this song is that apparently, in the British Army, commissioned officers are just too remote for grunts to gripe at.

He's not...he's being a civilian.
