At some point the tendency to glamourise the military, and individual soldiers becomes an attempt to glamourise war itself, something that I feel we all ought to reject. On a personal level, the real legacy of warfare is dead and broken human beings, destroyed communities and cultures, and residues of hate on all sides. There's nothing glamourous about that at all.

you are a worthless anti American piece of shit though, you do realise that?

FFS. Grow up.

A little topic, less name-calling?

Two posts before this one you wrote

Shhh. The grown-ups are talking.

Through the magic of glitter, you have now transformed into the good fairy two-shoes

Technically, this thread could have been removed from the forum entirely because I had to remove so many posts. I have no idea from where I'm sitting right now, how many were taken and how awful this looks, but I leave it to make a point.

One thing went wrong. The naming of another member that was not on the thread.

Because of this and how the naming of other members can play out in harassment, etc. this thread was dissected and comes out looking pretty bad. When you see something going wrong and you continue, everything gets taken. It wastes a lot of time for members and staff, good posts are lost and then people get mad and that moves into other areas that break down the forum rather than enhance it or build it. You don't have to enhance it or build it, but you start breaking it down and destruction and you and I will have an issue with one another. A serious one. I haven't worked my butt off to help this place stand against attacks to have it all fall apart because someone thinks its fun or are taking part in those attacks.

Let's enjoy the forum.

Allow me to apologise 3,it went in the direction it went because of one ill advised post on my part and devolved from there.
Sorry for the trouble and work I've caused You
Hell,I'll even apologise to Aylee and he that shan't be named(though I think he joined the thread at this point)
Again,my bad.

I took that as sarcasm. She just forgot the sarcasm emoticon.

Ah. My bad then.

Apologies!

The world should be more like your avatar, tweak. You're an outstanding forum member, who refuses to be deflected from the fundamental subjects.

tweak post42 . . . the tendency of some people to label anything in a military uniform as 'heroic'. I don't doubt that there are many individuals in the various militaries around the world who have been or are capable of acting heroically. But there's little heroism about most roles in the military, many of whom never come near any risk to their personal welfare and well being. At some point the tendency to glamourise the military, and individual soldiers becomes an attempt to glamourise war itself . . . dead and broken human beings, destroyed communities and cultures, and residues of hate on all sides. There's nothing glamourous about that at all.
