> \*\*Well, Bob, as I recall, I was pissed off at you for insinuating that those who were against war with Iraq weren’t patriotic, didn’t give a damn about the security of the country, and didn’t remember our country being attacked. Plus, I felt personally insulted because I joined the military with the full awareness that I could be sent somewhere unpleasant and life threatening, that I feel I did a service to my country, and you were belittling that. And maybe you were. And maybe you are now. Hey, I got a desk job, some guys get sent the desert. Luck of the draw, buddy.

I never intended to insult anyone, I’m sorry that it came across like that. I was just upset that many people seemed to have forgotten why we were in this war in the first place.
And for the rest of you who feel the need to flame (this is the BBQ pit afterall)…I found this thread b/c someone posted a link to a new site called “Boardreader”, I was just testing it out to see if it really searched the Straight Dope, knowing that bob55 would be found on this site. It was the first thread to appear in the results.
I was just defending myself. but continue to flame, I know it relieves the stress of your pointless lives.
Oh and Rexdart, you crack me up. You registered at SDMB 5 months before me and call me a newbie? Oooh you can post 10 times a day, this puts you on par with the Almighty Himself…loser.

Well. I wasn’t going to respond, but upon reading this, I must point out that, you sir, are a truly arrogant prick.

A. I only post about 4 times per day, you can check.
B. Who gives a flying crap?
C. Newbie is as newbie does.
You are acting like a quintessential lamebrained worthless newbie. I don’t care if you registered in Sep 2002 or just this week, you’re acting like a newbie. You got all worked up about a Pit thread that didnt’ get a single reply. Lame. You really must think people give a shit about you, which is sad since they clearly don’t.
You have about the same chance of taking the high ground in a debate as Pol Pot, so don’t even waste our time.
Go back, think for a minute or two, realize that the world was never out to get you, that you were never under assult before you put yourself in this position. If you hadn’t already exemplified yourself as the ideal of idiocy, you might have been able to garner some respect around here. As it is, people who take a Pit thread with _no_ replies that seriously just get scorned, and rightly so. Serves you right. I might only have been on this board 4 months longer than you, but clearly it was a good 4 months, because you are as ignorant and worthless as they come around here.
