What makes you think that??
I think that's pretty speculative at this early stage. We shall see. I disagree that it will go away. I think things are very different in Canada than they are in the US...these things are pursued....the public is pretty demanding in that they want answers...they want to know. We don't have the soldier deaths that occur in the US, so when these things happen they seem to touch Canadians more, and so when something like this happens...people want answers.I'll tell you why. I think they know who did it. I think they know it was a Canadian soldier. They have alluded to that. I think they also know that when there was a US-Canadian blue on blue they (Canada) wanted the heads of the pilots immediatlely.
Now they have egg on their face because it has happened to them and the negligent party is one of their own. Do they want to crucify the Canadian soldier? Of course not. Should they? Of course not unless he did it on purpose which I doubt.
So it is better to let this story fade away and ignore the tragic incident or look like the hypocrits that they truly are.
Tantrum???? What the hell are you talking about. I think Micky presented a very well thought out arguement, and some top notch ideas. I didn't see any HINT of a tantrum. And...this is a thread that started out from a news story...it's open to interpretation and it is open to taking twists and turns. He presented his points. He did nothing wrong. Why are you acting like this???Start your own thread then Mickey if you insist on having a tantrum....
This one isn't about you and your thoughts at all... it's about the slain soldier.
Uhhhh....nooooo....I think what you said is from your perspective and is very valid....and what micky said is from his perspective is very valid.Oh my oh my am I in the wrong place????
There is another one where everyone is arguing that the U.S. military shot this poor guy.....
I thought this particular thread might be an homage to the slain soldier
That is what I am going on about.... and you have now joined Mikey in your complete disregard or respect.....
Dude...what the hell are you talking about? What part of me telling you that the opinion that you expressed was valid did you not get? I don't think this thread has been hijacked...it started out as an article that talked about a number of issues related to the incident...not just how brave this guy was and how we should honour him. You presented your thoughts, and like I said, they were very valid and very honourable. However, micky had a differing opinion, and stated that he has that differing opinion because he sees himself as more jaded. Sooooo...I don't understand the problem. This isn't specifically a memorial thread....a memorial thread would probably be entitled something like "Memorial thread for the fallen Canadian Soldier". You can use this thread to post your memorial, and you have, and that is great...but to say that someone cannot post their opinion is...well...not great. I think micky expressed a very valid opinion, and I think that posting it in this thread was very appropriate. I'm not seeing the issue here.Why is it ok to hijack a thread to get a point across SNFU
Is it so important that you and Mickey be heard? You have to infect what could have been a kindness instead of yet another attack expounding personal opinion....it isn't all about you.... there's plenty of room for you and Mickey to make your mark.
As I said before - start another topic thread and do the oratorical deed..... why not just leave this thread alone for a bit of a memorial.
Who is? And what does that mean??? Pots and kettles?? I'm not even in the kitchen!You're all pots and kettles in this matter.:wave:
