To be fair, I started it, and it was meant to be funny, not belittling.

Wide view: Soldiers have their own varying viewpoints, and are entitled to them Quote I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one, I have had the viewpoint that I shold be able to have long sideburns for years and my viewpoint keeps getting shutdown by the powers that be at least once a week History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

Well, of course, we had it tough. We used to 'ave to get up out of shoebox at twelve o'clock at night and lick road clean wit' tongue. We had two bits of cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at mill for sixpence every four years, and when we got home our Dad would slice us in two wit' bread knife. Quote Yes Kallend we all know that the fact that you have never seen a day of hard labor in your life makes you a far superior being than everyone who actually breaks a sweat at work, but do you have to take every opportunity to belittle people?

As Bill says, all of us who have been there have a different view of the way things are going, all of our views are based on experience in different areas and have diferent ways of determining success or failure over there. From the interaction I had with soldiers over there outside my unit the ones who usually don't think too highly of what's going on are the ones that really don't get out to see what's going on and are just disgruntled at the fact that they actually had to do their job. I am sure, however that there are plenty of solders out there who have been in positions to really get a good feel for how things are going and still don't see the whole situation in a positive light, as for the ones in the letter posted at the beginning of this thread, I don't know them, or their experience so I am not going to comment on that. Overall, soldiers are scattered on both sides of the fence just as much as civilians are, it's just that for the most part the ones protesting the war are being more outspoken about it and getting all the media attention, those of us who still hold the belief that there is hope, as slight as it may be for the most part don't make big issues about it, we just do our jobs and stay away from the media and the exposure they offer.

Two of the ASV member are out of state now, but with Todd jumping again if he wanted to come back to the team I'm sure there wouldn't be any objections and that would only leave them one short, I'm sure there are enough talented skydivers out there who would fill in that fourth slot. I really hope something changes and we see two 4 way teams and an 8 way again. History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D. Eisenhower

This is a clear personal attack as you have added nothing to the thread till this point..Quote lighten up, rehmwa is one of the few people in these forums that doesn't get out of control when the debate doesn't go his way, if I had half the amount of self control he did I wouldn't be on here nearly as much.

When I was twelve, I was working 11 hr. days doing farm labor. It never damaged me, as far as I can tell. Quote ditto, I grew up working long days on my dads cattle ranch, and when I was fourteen I got my first job outside the ranch as a ski instructor. growing up working did me good History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

My school was much the same, we didn't really learn a whole lot, but it did keep us active, we started with running around the field for twenty minutes and then moved on to whatever game we were playing that day. I know I don't have any kids in school at the moment but from what I understand kids are getting exemptions from their parents to not have to participate in the games, and where you used to be able to fail PE, now you can't fail. Society as a whole is contributing to the growing waistline in our country, all sies are to blme, everyone from teh school for not having the guts to stand up to the paretns and say if your kids don't pass PE they don't pass the grade, to the parents for not taking enoguh interest in their child's well-being to tell them to put the damn video game down and get outside. People blaming fast food chains, that's just not living up to your mistakes, when I was growing up Mcdonald's was a treat because we never got to go, I used to complain but now thank my parents for not having junk food in the house and letting me get a happy meal once a month. Remember in the US we live in a capitalist society and they are more than welcome to put whatever greasy crap in fron tof us that they would like, if people want to lose weight than drive past it and maybe try the subway down teh street where you can get something a little bit healthier.
