soxfan420 Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 We will lose the support of all Arab people quite possibly. Theyre such hypocrytes. When we invade Iraq they detest us but then if we were to let so many Iraqis die they would also detest us. They cant play both sides. They need to pick a side. Side with Saddam when hes in power and when hes left in power to kill so many Iraqis or side with us when we tell the world we are going to take Saddam out and save the Iraqi people. they have the same problem(not really a problem) but everyone has there own ideas. and the only way to really understand them is to listen. and see if it is just hog wash or if there is ligit stuff behind it.

Steff Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 You arrogant French fool. Im gonna serve. I know people in Kuwait serving their country. Have you or will serve in our military? Do you know people in Kuwait? I wont come back on my promise to serve, Im gonna serve and Im gonna be there in the action. In the Gulf or wherever, Im gonna be there serving my country. Are you? And how old are you? Let me show a better example of my original point. In WWII America lost about 260,000 men. In Vietnam we lost 58,000 men. Here we lost 20 men. All these men are honorable. Those dying in Iraq are just as honorable as those who died in Nam and the Second World War. But my point is, and was the same in the post to which you object, that there are times and countries in history that have had it a whole lot worse than us. I hope you understand now you moron... Just who are you talking to..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 Im talking to you. But do you see my point now? Im just pointing out times in which the American dead were a heck of a lot more than there are now. They are all equally honorable but there were a lot more dead back in Vietnam than there are now...

Soxplosion Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 And here, Ill even give you some stats. In Vietnam we lost about 8000 troops every year. At our current pace we will lose 4000 men in a year. And I pray to God that doesnt happen. But does anyone even think this war will last a year? Not me. This conflict will last about 2-5 months Id say. And to equal the Vietnam death toll of 58000, at this pace, this war would have to last 14 years...

First of all I am NOT French. Second of all, NO, I do not see any attempt at a point you were trying to make. Go read your post. You weren't pointing out anything. You were disrespecting the lives of people. One life, 500 lives. You said it yourself.. unless your personally effected, so what. Once again, you prove what an idiot you are. And by the way.. I didn't make the comment about how old you are. Keep up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 Here is your EXACT quote: "Each death is a terrible tragedy, but compared to them, our loss is rather insignificant. Unless of course you know the person, then the numbers really dont matter... " This is why you are an asshole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 I know people there, just like you. I am going to join the military, unlike you. But let me repeat myself. In Vietnam 58000 Americans died and here 43 have died. All Im saying is there were a lot more back then than there are now. Geez, it saddens me that these people are dying for arrogant jerks like yourself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I find it real interesting that in this post you are calling me all kinds of names and being s***ty.. but in another you apologized. So which is it? Stop talking out of both sides of your mouth. And arrogant..? Where exactly have I been arrogant? (maybe check the dictionary for the meaning of the word before you answer). You made a comment, which was... "Each death is a terrible tragedy, but compared to them, our loss is rather insignificant. Unless of course you know the person, then the numbers really dont matter... " It was that comment specifically that pissed me off. I quoted it. I commented on it. End of story. Now you want to bring all this other "what I meant to say" s*** into it.. then you go play with yourself. I'm done with you. You can't take responsibility for your dumb s*** comments. You're pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 I just apologized to you for good Steff. So lets just stop bickering. And just a friendly question, if the apology meant so much to you whyd you come back on this thread and rip me? I apologized in that one thread and then you ripped me so I defended myself. Now Im apologizing for good so lets just be done with this. Heck, if you like Ill even delete the offending post... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it's any of your business, but typical of your mentality to ask, no. I was not a member of the military. I was DENIED the opportunity due to personal medical issues.
