If you really want to know sure why not. Don't know why I must do this but you seem to think you have caught me in something. Figures I have to defend myself instead of people attacking the issue. Same old same old.
Quote:So far you have claimed to be a student getting an education so you can provide better for your family
This is a true statement; I do in fact go to school at a local community college. I am taking criminal justice course to become a cop so that I can better provide for my family. When I complete the basic credits I will have the credits I need to complete an associates degree in computer technology, which I started 4 years ago.
Quote:a father who babysits
It's part of being a father. Sometimes you must let your wife get out and be herself instead of being at home all the time.
As stated above I watch the kids so my lovely wife can get out of the house. Being a husband and a father is a 24/7/365 job!
Quote:a person that has signed up to go to Iraq
I have indeed signed up in the US Army Reserve to serve in Iraq or Afghanistan. I'm waiting on orders, which will place everything else on hold for the duration of the tour. If you must know what I do in the military, I'm a crew chief on the CH-47D Chinook. Which means I'm in aviation!
Quote:a person training to be a police officer or first responder (don't remember exactly and no time to look it up)
Hoping to become a police officer, whish is a sort of first responder although that is usually a fire fighter. I haven't started training yet, seeing as how it is an 8-month hiring process. I am optimistic of my chances, being mature and all.
Quote:and now you have been in the military long enough to know the procedures for F-16 bombing of people in the street
There is this thing called rules of engagement, which apply to all persons in the military. This is taught over and over and over again till it is almost like second nature. MOST people in the military act only when told to or when in extreme situations. When it comes to engaging targets, you only engage those, which you have orders to and only with what has been predetermined. The pilot who engaged asked for permission from who ever was at mission control. The person at mission control is usually in contact with people on the ground or with other observers. My guess is that the people bombed were under surveillance that is why it was easy to obtain permission to drop a bomb. Believe it or not, the military doesn't just do things on a whim.
As to the other video posted, those guys were being idiots and should be brought up on charges of destruction of property. They shouldn't be kicked out but something should be done.
Quote:All of that on top of the time you spend posting here
Most of my posting takes place at work, where I have time to do such things. My job is aware that I do this and don't care as long as it doesn't interfere with my work, which it doesn't. I even read some of the posts on this board to my fellow workers and we all get a good laugh.
Quote:You must never sleep! I'd be exhausted
I am always exhausted. I only get about 4 to 5 hrs of sleep per night. I leave my house at 7am and don't get home till after 1030pm.
Quote:Not saying you aren't being truthful, just confused by all of your claims.
What can I say; I'm a multitasking mofo. There is no rest for the weary or I'll get all the sleep I need when I'm dead.
