Wrong. Nobody questioned your patriotism and I'm not a right winger. Guess again. Besides that, your post has NOTHING to do with the thread, so get on topic please. I will respond to the rest of your thread in the hopes that your interest in me will soon fade.

Doesn't bother me..."Sticks and stones" and all of that. Sounds like you can benefit from some good old fashioned therapy, rather than ranting about how pissed you are. Your local VA can provide the services, even though there's probably a waiting list.

Your baiting is not hitting the mark you expect it to. And yes, I served my time, and I don't whine about it like many do.

Wrong again. I scored high on the ASFAB (there's a clue for you) so I picked my MOS from a list.

I see you've stopped baiting, and now you are chumming. Your true colors are shinig through.

That's on a need to know basis, and you don't need to know. Your behavior here shows that you would only use that information to further your agenda. It might work on some college ROTC's here, but not with me.

I know you don't mean half the stuff you say, but you actually say it to feed the demon inside. Your avatar may be intimidating to some, but not me. I know you are nothing but a big old overgrown pussycat.

I hope you will focus your comments on the topic from now on. Like I said, I'm allergic to cats.

Venezuela to buy Russian weaponry worth $2 bln - anyone remember the topic? If you want to talk about military backgrounds, start another thread elsewhere. If you want to argue, start a thread in Thunder and Lightening.

we were discussing the topic until bourne and AD questioned my patriotism.

as I recall, I asked bourne to answer a simple question, based on the responses IN this thread and he fell all over himself trying to side step it... So I will ask it again and aim it at any and all of the right wingers here claiming our air superiority wins wars.

Please explain why, with our obvious air superiority in Iraq, why 4000+ of our troopers have died there?

Because, my right winger foes, it will be the same thing IF the neocons try to invade Venezuela. We will win the air war and lose the ground war.

I don't. I was pointing out that Tomahawks are a bad choice for that (unless they carry nukes). FAE would be much more effective. Tomahawks are precision-guided weapons, ideal for taking out things like airfields.
