i do apologize if i offended you, i think my point was that i did'nt want to reply intellegently to an un-intellegent letter... speaking from my own personal military experiences, when bosnia first happened in the early-mid 90's, i was in the army and my friends were sent in the begining... they lived in freight train cars, shitty tents, abandoned and condemned warehouses, AND were shot at on a nightly basis by rogue bands of serbs with machine guns... they came back FUCKED in the head!!! In my last days in the millitary, in order to go to bosnia (2-3 years later) you had to sign up on a waiting list because the pay 2x your normal pay, and the workload at that time was extremely light... sometimes none at all but to hang out in front of the px (which back then was a fucking tent!!!) and shoot the shit with their homies...
What this marine is doing in bosnia is NOTHING compared to what the earlier soldiers did, and she is an officer and dosen't do the grunt work reserved for privates, private contracts, etc... or for that matter the kids in afghanistan who are getting shot at still but you don't hear much about that now do you?! But what really pissed me off is that she more or less said, agree with me or i'll kick your ass... this my friends is a clear example of facism and has no reason to be coming out the mouth of someone claiming to defend our freedom... once again, i do apologize to the list if i did go overboard... xodus At Sunday, 16 February 2003, you wrote: >now now theres no call for that. > >--- Xodus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> cunt >> >> At Saturday, 15 February 2003, you wrote: >> >> >>From a Marine in Bosnia.
