Steele,

"Then again I'm just another oldish cantankerous bastard.".

I don't think that about you at all, I'm sure that your parents were lawfully married.

Hi there STEELEREDUX ...

It's not proper that I speak of FOXY with another. Suffice to say my opinion of her, is quite different now, than what it was previously?

Speaking of our own peculiarities, you might wonder what pushes my buttons, that sets me apart as a cantankerous old bastard. Is people who make unfounded comments about both the Vietnam War, and the Police Force, particularly when they've served in neither. I had my partner suicide with his own F/A, when I was still in uniform. And my closest mate (almost a brother to me) killed in Vietnam. They can't defend their own actions, so it's incumbent upon me to speak up for them.

Until you've served in either, you can't have any appreciation of what it's really like. Just after we first deployed my sect. was tasked with setting up an ambush with Claymores. They were remotely activated, and we had to go through the pockets and belongings of the dead. This young bloke who I was searching had this small crinkled B&W photo of either his family or whoever. An older man, and women and a couple of kids. And I thought, less than 50 minutes or so ago, this young fella was a breathing functioning person, now he's almost eviscerated by the mine. Don't get me wrong I don't suffer nightmares or anything...but? You see my point?

o sung wu,

They'll never get the point, and they'll never know what it's like to go on functioning after a mate has been killed or even after just a bit of a clash that sees no one hurt.

"those fearful, knock-kneed types crying wolf at every opportunity"

WOOOOOOLF!

the strange thing is o sung wu is that the first people the Antifa/leftist thugs call when they are in trouble are the ones they spit and crap on when throwing their tantrums (ie the Police). Yep they admire their socialist facist leaders and lack any common decency. Products of a very mirky swamp.

o sung wu,

Is that the best you can come up with, using supposedly dead mates to garner sympathy from strangers on an anonymous forum. Now your involving the forum moderator in your petulant nonsense. Wow, you certainly are a nasty piece of work.
I have no concern for you, or your rubbish about what you claimed to have done in Vietnam, or in the coppers.
