London Thanks the USAF for Their Support

Personally I do not think this LT AF guy is for real. I mean maybe he is some AFROTC flunky, but I doubt he is in the Air Force.

I mean jeez, he doesn’t even know the Air Force Chain of Command.

Round one

Doper A hurls insults at Doper B.

The crowd hurls insults at Doper A.

Nothing much happens.

Round two

Doper B notices.

Doper B posts a snippy response that the thread isn’t worth his time.

The crowd mutter that this shouldn’t be in MPSIMS

Round three

Thread moved to the pit

Doper C weighs in against Doper B

Doper D points out that everything Doper C said is a crock’o’shit, with Snopes links as evidence.

Doper C tells Doper D that he should read the rules.

Doper D quotes the rules at Doper C
Round four

Doper B quotes Doper D, attributing it to Doper A.



I’m glad somebody else came out and made their suspicions public first :wink:

Well, that’s the thing about virtuality, anybody could pretend to be anybody. Personally, I’m a bit suspicious about why such a patriotic all-American soldier as Lt AF would use the British spelling of “criticise”. (At least three separate times, too.)

Gorilla, that does seem to be a problem.

Okay, one-on-one Doper Cage Match with ninja death demons sent to mercilessly tickle whoever the mods decides is the ‘loser’ of the debate. And videos sold for $19.95

Come on, doesn’t everybody here have a Doper who they’d pay $19.95 to see get tickled 'till they puke?

counts out the notes ready for the obligatory mod-bribes

Hmmmm - this shows him at further depths of idiocy, at the very least:

Blow it out your arse son. For someone sworn to the constitution you jokers have done a really good job of ignoring it of late. I live here, but am not an American. You are a servant of the people, not the POTUS. Fascists swear to the leader, people in a democracy ought not.

People like you make me really happy that my home country told the US to stick their visits by ships etc…, up their collective arse.

As for duking it out, as you mentioned in an earlier post. Any-fucking-time. Got the balls?

Thank you for summing up exactly what I was trying to get at.

While I suspect that the guy who wrote this is a fraud, I would willingly go kick his sorry arse. He ‘speaks’ like a fascist, pure and simple. What I find frightening is the number of people who do so at the moment.

My offer to kick his arse is valid, and I will take it up anytime he/she/it has the balls.

I would like to congratulate you, for being able to use the term ‘fascist’ correctly, and avoiding Godwinising the discussion. :slight_smile:

Suspicion is one thing, Nocturne; knowledge is quite another.

As for your primary point of outrage, all kinds of people ‘speak’ on the Dope. That’s rather the point. If somebody’s full of shit, argue 'em down.

Don’t threaten violence.

Veb

TVeblen, you do know that UnwrittenNocturne and I are separate people, right? We do post from the same IP, because we’re married–but still. Imagine my surprise to find out I got an admonishment.

It gives me the incredible urge to start screaming drill sergeant quotes from Full Metal Jacket.

“WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION, NUMBNUTS? DIDN’T MOMMY AND DADDY SHOW YOU ENOUGH ATTENTION WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD?”

Perhaps you would like to explain what you consider lawful. I understand that the US will not allow any of their personnel to be tried by an international court (which strikes me as cowardly). I suppose any orders are lawful to you.

Let me ask though. Have you ever actually been in the military or is this all bullshit? I call bullshit. Given your tendencies I think no military in the world, outside certain states, would want anything to do with you. Psych profiling would pull you out as a psychopath.

I know you are a fascist. I know you are willing and happy to use the ‘orders’ defense. I know you are an arsehole. Is it any wonder that people like you make people like me (that is to say, people with a conscience) distrust all things that link politics with the military?

You know what? Americans do have to try to justify their actions to other people. Arrogant cunt. Especially when those actions have an impact on all of us.

While I still call foul on your claim to being an officer in the US military I hole to mty cal that you are an unrepentant prick. Like Franco. In all honesty, rather live under Castro than an arsehole like you

Wow, can’t you just feel the love for the military in this thread?

Well, look at it this way… there’s a LOT more love for the military, and people defending it, than there ever is for Bush :slight_smile:

Then why are you arguing about whether there was an "emergency’ in London or not? Clearly, there was something that was bad enough that the travel restriction was reasonable in the first place.

Uhhh, I don’t think we really disagree all that much… but it still strikes me as totally reasonable that in the Big Book of Things To Do In Emergencies, there are LOTS of things to do, most of which won’t matter in most emergencies, but all of which you do anyhow, just in case. And one of them is to impose travel restrictions. However, what with all the other things in that Big Book, I doubt anyone ever came up with a super-time-critical standard must-be-implemented set of plans for the removal of those restrictions. And if you’d said to someone two weeks ago “so, the US Air Force has a standard procedure wherein, if a state of emergency arises in a particular area near an air base, servicemen will be restricted from travelling there. However, there is no clear procedure stating how long that restriction should last, so it will sometimes remain in effect a few days (or more) past when it is strictly necessary”, NO ONE would have thought “OH DEAR LORD! This omission must be remedied instantly, lest grave crises of overly long travel restrictions ensue!!!”

When the air force doesn’t have a policy about how to deal with sexual harrassment, THAT is criminally negligent planning. Not benig on the ball on THIS issue, given that (as far as I know) it’s NEVER before mattered in the history of humanity, is very forgiveable.
Seriously… if you’d said to me “OK, there’s going to be a bombing in London on a Thursday. On the follownig Monday, there are going to be angry headlines in London papers due to some action/inaction of the US Air Force. What will that action/inaction be?” I would NEVER, in a jillion years, have come up with this.

I for one an surprised that this thread is still going, I didn’t realise that there was so much strength of feeling on this issue.

I third the motion that Lt AF is either a fake or is seriously whooshing us.

Surely there can’t really be people that think like that in the USAF? He/she’s like a combination of all of the worst military stereotypes known to mankind.

If he/she is real then we can only hope that such attittudes are not common in the USAF, otherwise we really are in trouble. I suspect though that it was just a wind up, as he/she has not been back to refute these accusations since they were raised.
