The content of what you said didn't shut him down, it was the way you said it. Just putting this snippet out there.

Yeah the sides of the argument could've been reversed and the result wouldve been the same.

Repect is given not asked for. If you have to ask or demand or "command" it, you're doing something wrong.

You only made it to O-2 in 12 years??
This guy isn't legit. Something is off.

Was up for a promotion to Major before I nearly had my leg blown off by an IED.
[–]The_Man112 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Major is O-4. They were just going to let you skip Captain(O-3)?
[–]Oz70NYC-2 points-1 points0 points 9 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
I skipped SMMC to CWO2 and from CWO2 to CWO4. I was good at what I did, that's all I can tell you.
[–]The_Man115 points6 points7 points 9 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
None of this is making any sense. You don't "skip" SMMC as it is a special appointment (E-9S). It is the highest ENLISTED rank. It takes 20+ years to even get close. Then you say you were a CWO which is not a 1stLt. Then you say you were going to skip the rank of captain and be promoted to major.

He says he's a Marine, let the guys at Terminal Lance know.

Soldiers are just fuel to be burned up by the real Machiavellians. You are a tool.
[–]Dookiestain_LaFlair1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Yeah, and I'm a Delta Force close combat expert that was kicked out of the Navy SEALs for being too dangerous. Now I work for the CIA Special Activities Division. I was actually promoted to General in less than two years but I turned it down because I didn't want to be stuck behind a desk. Now I talk shit to people on the internet about of much of a badass I am. I started a group called Project Badass to increase my honor and shut down betas.
[–]afghansquid0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
lol, no you're not, you deserted from the marines because it was hard.
[–]Dookiestain_LaFlair0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah no shit. I was making fun of the OP who said he was a 12 year 2nd Lt. and talked about how much of a badass he was. And I deserted because I'm a pussy, not because the training was hard.
[–]SubbaHubba5 points6 points7 points 9 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
You were stripped of your identity and you risked death for causes you're stupid enough to believe are morally honorable.
You say badass, I see dumbass.
[–]Usecod2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
He was brainwashed.I am not really surprised.Fighting in Iraq for what?There was no need for invasion.If you want to fight ultra religious fanatics and terrorists go to Saudi Arabia.
[–]Oz70NYC0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Funny how the only thing most of you take away is the fact that I fought in the war. Not the context of the post. Sheep will be sheep no matter what I guess.
[–]Oz70NYC-3 points-2 points-1 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Stripped of my identity? looks around room Nope, still me. Just better, more disciplined and skilled in things you couldn't wrap your head around.
Only Dumbass I see here is the one with two A's in his screen name. Go fig.
[–]Usecod2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
The war in Iraq was pointless - around 200 000 people killed and for what.The country that spreads terrorism is called Saudi Arabia.There will be no justice for Bush.When I see Bush and Clinton family it just reminds how sad is the reality.They will never face justice.Sad,just very sad.

[–]Usecod0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Men cut the BS.Iraq right now is sectarian place with ISIS holding some territory.You cant make it up.And please dont tell me about soldier duty to protect the fucking homeland.The ones who attacked us were Saudi Arabia,not Iraq.You just cant defend this.

Brainwashed beta, when I enlisted a whole 3 years before the war even started? Yea...that logic seems correct.
[–]globst1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago* (5 children) | Copy Link
Siting my reason for enlisting was to safeguard the freedoms this nation was built upon. Freedoms that many, if not the majority of America's citizens take for granted. I also add that following 9/11 when I was deployed for combat, what resonated in my mind was seeing tower 1 and 2 in MY CITY (native New Yorker here) crumble through the act of zealous cowards, and how I wanted vengeance for the lives lost that day. His tale swiftly tucks under his legs and he scurries off.
This entire paragraph is a massive lol.
Safeguarding freedom?
I'll have some freedom fries with that please.
Guess what? We soldiers "acting like drones" enables you to have those very opinions of us freely and without ramifications.
You're welcome.
[–]The_Man114 points5 points6 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Aaaaaand there it is. No self-respecting Marine would ever call himself a soldier. This guy is a troll.
[–]globst1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I'm not American (UK) but I suppose the same applies here as it does there.
I pay the state and the state pays you. I don't value your work beyond that of any other civil servant.
The only difference is that much (not necessarily all) of your work causes indirect long term harm to the nation.
[–]Baylien2 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
More like enables the profits of the military industrial complex to grow faster, while the rest of society crumbles to shit regardless. Freedom isn't "given" to men. It is inherent, men are born free.
[–]misterbadattitude 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
While your thinking you're doing something good to defend your home Murica, it's actually that you're just a replaceable number for the miltary industrial complex. Huge profits are made of war and the civilians are the casualties. Now think who are making the profits? Could that maybe be the oil industry, weapons industry and the bankers? Especially the bankers because they create debt with interest. And the taxpayer gets the bills. And how about the two party system of republic and democrats? Is that really democracy like you only have a choice of left and right, while there are tons of choices of consumer goods. Does that make sense. The politicians, do they make promises over and over again, while they only cause more damage. If they are not working for the interest of the people, then WHO are they actually working for? Why don't you fight for a cause in your own country, because whole Western society is on the brink of collapsing. Total shithole economy, everyone for themselves, hatred to other cultures and different people than you, no respect for life, love or nature.
What would you do if someone destroyed everything you worked for. Your house, your family, you would be desperate to kill the enemy right? Do you really think it was for a good cause that you were sent to Iraq? You were actually the invader and were part of destroying basically the whole Middle East. It's just that you're a tool of a huge game of Risk, where there is a power struggle of influence by the richest people you probably never ever heard of. Thanks for being the little cause of the migrant influx, where Europe will be no more peaceful for a long time. I live in peace for a long time and now here it's slowly turning like a shithole society in America. I wish I could shake your hand you did a very good job with being a slave marine fighting for the wrong cause.

Thank you for your service.
[–]Iguessiamaslut-4 points-3 points-2 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
This is a great post. It teaches me that just because you played touch butt in the middle east with arabs, while I instead went off to college to put my penis in promiscuous women, neither one of us is right. While you were white knighting this great country, i was here fucking it in every hole...and now you may even work for me. We are both so right. I just wish i was a "real" bad ass too.
Guess I forgot to mention the fact that abroad, I was sticking my penis in promiscuous foreign women, when I was doing the same with the chicks on base. Or do you think having able bodied men and women sharing a living space far from home that sort of thing DIDN'T happen? Good luck with that pretentious asshole thing though, lil' guy. And working for you? Sorry, I don't flip burgers.
[–]Iguessiamaslut1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Hey, i was just agreeing with you. Everyone now knows that if you want to increase chances of career success while simultaneously being exposed to the hottest and youngest most promiscuous people you go to college OR the military. The military is a great place. All kinds of young fit hotties running around. Americas best and brightest, and we know this because they are hand chosen from those able to fill out the paperwork. Hell, i know all the best and highest achieving men and only the hottest unicorn bitches were able to get into the military from my highschool. Fucking SAT, ACT, MCAT, and GRE aint got nothing on that ASVAB. Glad we could reconcile our differences. Many kisses.
[–]Oz70NYC-1 points0 points1 point 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Yea, I'm just gonna see myself out. The fact that all most of you take away from the post is your own bias towards the war and not the context of the post speaks pretty damn loudly about you betas posing as alphas. The fact that you can't even see beyond your own bias is as beta a trait as it gets.
Stay classy, gents.
[–]theimmortalmortal -1 points0 points1 point 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
sheep don't understand anything they are not explicitly told. they have not experienced the discipline from military life, nor risked their lives for any cause. no matter what they think about the war, honor still exists in being a military man
[–]theimmortalmortal -1 points-1 points-1 points 9 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Honor should never be broken, guard it more than reputation, keep it close and keep it well fed.
[–]Oz70NYC1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You'd be surprised how foreign the concept is to most men. Hell, look at the above response by a slut? Textbook definition of an honorless beta working his passive, aggressive magic. Gave me a chuckle actually.
