What can I say flame wars are sometimes fun to watch. Especially when you're bored.
Oddly enough nobody actually argued my statement they just down voted it and honestly I couldn't care less about the amount of up or down votes I get. Sure it's somewhat disheartening to see people disagreeing with me but that's life I guess so might as well get used to it to the point where I don't care anymore.
It's just too bad nobody voiced their disagreement. I was getting the popcorn ready.
BUT THAY FITE FO OUR FREEDOM U TAKL TRASH ABOOT TROOPS YUO TERRIST SUPPORTR WERNT FOR THEM U COUDNT SAY DAT **** U BE SPEEKING NAZI RITE NOW [[MILITARY WORSHIP INTENSIFIES]]
im sorry to have to say this and i mean no disrespect but you and your friends ARE / WERE soldiers and all soldiers regardless of nationality are in essence professional killers ... that is after all your job to make the other poor bastards on the other side die for their country b4 they try the same to you.
War after all is nothing more than organized mass slaughter / murder or as USMC Major Gen. Smedley Butler once put it ...
Romel, Guderian, Hoth, Patton, Rokossovsky, Kuznetsov, and hundreds of other generals are NOT amused by this bul*hit. All of them fought besides there troops in more than one battle.
Besides all generals attain their ranks after going trough the same suffering their underlings go trough as they all start their careers as junior officers.
Holy **** guys I turn around for a few days and the place is about to burn down!
@Elffriend no one wants to argue because serious discussion tend to get deleted (due to this group being the humor, satire, and parody group). Hence most here are basically going to the who "watch the world burn" while skipping the flame war part [almost] entirely. Also, feel free to take your actual serious discussion to one of the debating groups (yes I know both are pretty dead right now but hey that's the nature of such things).
@rkraptor70 I think the point of the comic in question is mocking modern first world militaries, where the command is so far removed from the situations at hand. Your second point still stands though.
Don't really want to start a discussion, but that is what mostly happens.
People tend to watch funny, non-intellectual stuff so they dont have to think about anything instead of doing a discussion or start thinking about topics.
Looks about right. The real heroes (more like murders but that's another can of worms) never get the credit they deserve.
Holy crap.
Flame war incoming.
Water shield! Get your water shield right here!
