@hingehead,
I'm really not interested in trading insults with you hinge, but to set the record straight:

The post to which you provided a link, was a response to yours, which was quoted.

Every one of the lines I specificaly quoted you posted. If you can't find the one about head in the sand or arse, you didn't look hard enough.

Please keep a close eye on what I post hingehead, as it will guarantee me that at least one person is reading what I have to write.

That's the reason presidents who have never served doesn't understand wars. They sit at their desks in DC to decide how to placate the generals in all the services, and end up making all the wrong decisions. They have no sensitivity for collateral damage


You never read a history book in your life have you?

President Lincoln and Roosevelt both come to mind as war times presidents that never serve themselves but was great leaders in all regards.

Oh you comment about having sensitivity about collateral damage during war tell us all that you have no understanding of war yourself.

@Finn dAbuzz,
Likewise I have no interest in trading insults, but setting the record straight:

You responded to a post of mine and included some lines from my posts from 20 pages before, edited and out of context. That's what I was responding to.

I use google to search for the quotes and the sand/arse one doesn't come up but the rest do - that makes me think it was hamstered, try the search yourself:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=+"in+the+sand"+"up+your+arse"+site:able2know.org

If you are posting about a topic I'm interested in I will give you the courtesy of reading your posts. Cheers.

@BillRM,
BillRM, You are living in the wrong generation; the Civil War was fought to do away with slavery in this country. That was the right thing to do for Lincoln. As for Roosevelt, he had no choice when Japan attacked Pearl. We did not start that war; it was started in Europe by the Nazis who were on the march to take over the whole continent.

You need to study history to understand the difference between those wars and the more recent wars beginning with Vietnam.

@cicerone imposter,
Anyone who has studied history ci. wouldn't dream of portraying the events and processes you mention in such a brutal, simplistic and ridiculous caricature.

Your blabbering has no issue or content that challenges anything I've written. Explain "brutal, simplistic and ridiculous caricature?" You're dumber than your beer stein.

@hingehead,
Action under JFK was limited. Lyndon Johnson made it a full fledged war.

It's CI's premise, you'll have to ask him where JFK fits in it. I was just trying to be helpful in nailing down the time period to which he was referring.

Maybe a better rewrite of his premise would be

Anybody who has studied history doesn't need that explaining ci. And anybody who hasn't isn't worth listening to on the subject.

@cicerone imposter,
LOL your statement that US Presidents that did not serve in the military have no understanding of war and I gave you two examples that prove otherwise.

Side note Lincoln goal was to keep the union together and if that mean keeping slavery in the Southern States he was more then willing to do so.

Any particular reason you left out the (edit) 'draft dodging' (/edit) idiot that dragged us into the two wars we're currently fighting?

I'm glad you got a kick out of that one. I thought it was pretty funny when I wrote it, but I wasn't sure how many people would get it.

If there's a way to post a link to a specific post, I don't know it, but at one point in this discussion I wrote:

Finn wrote:
Yes, if the opponents of WikiLeaks set the IRS on Sweden, it's lights out Oslo.


To which Setanta replied:

Oslo is not in Sweden.


To which I replied:

Of course it's not. Foolish me, I stand corrected.

But if the IRS decides to take on Sweden it will probably stick around and overrun Denmark as well.
