    1. I want it now 2. I want it cheap 3. I want good quality You can only have 2 of the above. In other words, you're going to be looking for a long time. Owned by Remi #?

    What you've described here is an NCO managing a situation when it's reasonable to manage. All that reasonable management goes to hell under stress. Maybe I'm old school.... but I think the answer is to tell the soldiers to work together or both of them need to pack a fucking bag. Owned by Remi #?

    Buck up, man. There are many, many people in this world who don't pre-judge anyone because they are "tan" or gloat in the aftermath of tragedy because they aren't surprised that someone involved is Muslim or has an Arabic sounding name. That kind of asshole also wasn't surprised when someone named McVeigh turned out to be a murderous sociopathic dickhead.... because McVeigh rhymes with gay. Owned by Remi #?

    I think Vietnam era... and partly because of racial integration in the services slightly before that. More cultural and ethnic diversity in the military made it "distasteful" to the white middle and upper classes. Owned by Remi #?

    It says nothing about military training but it speaks worlds about what their parents taught them. If you train a kid to be an asshat, then don't act all surprised and indignant when the kid matures into an asshat. Owned by Remi #?

    True enough, Max... but please imagine that you are going to bond with your team while you can't ever let a gender reference slip. It's hard, Max. It's hard to focus the energy that you've shown. It's hard to imagine anyone being able to step up to the level you've presented under duress not to mention anything so personal as a partner. I'm conflicted even arguing this because I know you've sacrificed so much, Max. But imagine how this would have played out for you if you couldn't acknowledge how much you want to thank your wife for her support. You can tell, Max. How would you feel if you couldn't tell? How would you feel if you had to hide your wife? And edit... how would your wife feel if you had to ignore her contribution to your recovery because your relationship to her was "conduct unbecoming" Owned by Remi #?

    Cliff... seriously. You seem to be implying that military service somehow relates directly to an inability to discriminate right from wrong. That's complete bullshit. If a child makes it into military service without knowing a moral order from an immoral order then that burden of incompetence lies with the parent, not the military. If you don't think you could trust your children to serve then you might want to think about how you've failed to teach them to act as reasonable, thinking, responsible adults. Owned by Remi #?

    I think you might be confusing "gay" with uninhibited masculine behavior. Owned by Remi #?

    I would hope most parents would prefer their kids aspire to serve in the military or another similar federal or global service. WTF? Owned by Remi #?

    What should an average student be expected to spot? Should average students be expected to come into the game knowing anything at all about aviation? Hell, I'm a pretty smart person and I was so pumped about my first skydive that I actually didn't think about the fact that I was going to also get a plane ride until after I showed up at the DZ.

    My memory of gay adolescence is more one of constant fear of violence, sexual repression, guilt, isolation, and denial. Owned by Remi #?

    Break that down, okay... when something is "absolute need to know or else you die" then the basics haven't had a chance. Owned by Remi #?
