Well... anyhow...

I still am hoping to find out where this fighting took place.

And you must be running back up.

C'mon, spit it out!

You're just gonna keep at me, ain't you?

And you must be running back up.
OK, I'll lay this out one time. Then I'll get back to the snark.

[sincerity] I don't hold with bad-mouthing veterans for their service. Saying you "fought for your country" is a pretty standard euphemism for saying you served. I respect anybody who served, especially in the Cold War. Whether they were actually in combat or not, they raised their right hands, put on uniforms, and put their butts on the line. And the Cold War vets don't get much respect for that, even though we actually took on the only foe since England in 1812-1814 who posed an existential threat to the U.S. (and Canada). You were a Marine. You say so, and I believe it. And I respect you for that. Don't care how long you served, don't care what your MOS was. You raised your right hand, put on a uniform, and voluntarily placed your favorite skin "between your lov'd home and the war's desolation." That's good enough for me.

I got problems with Curious too. I probably like him more'n you do, but I ain't real fond of his anti-American tirades. Mostly I ignore them, every now and then I take him down. But I don't see a reason to denigrate his service. I don't care if he was a chaplain's clerk in Manitoba, he put up his hand and took his chances.

Just my two bits. Do what you like.[/sincerity]

I am not denigrating his service. He's the one who put it out there. He has no qualms with his rhetoric.

And saying I fought for my country without actually fighting is not a common euphemism.

So F*ck him.

Where did he fight?

OK, we disagree. I ain't gonna change my point of view, and I don't expect or even want you to.

I won't comment on it anymore.

Fair?

Mr Trump may have a silly name which makes Britons sn igger, but he is the best man for president, without a doubt.
Trumpet is a stupider version of an ArchieBunker/Scrooge McDuck offspring. But that you would support Trumpet adheres to present conclusions from observations.

But look...





You claim that you were fighting, then when questioned you said you were fighting against NATO's adversaries.


Fighting where and who exactly.


Or do we have another example of Stolen Valor with your claim.

Hey troll. No mention of "battle.

So, were you ever a Marine, troll?

Well we're still waiting for you to tell us what battle you fought against NATO's adversaries.


Anything yet heeero?
No battle ... just a generations long campaign (long before you were born, by the sounds of it)

Troll.

Precisely. He's the perfect representative of the American people.

Wraps it right up in a blustery, bullying bundle don't he?

I can't wait for the wall he's going to build across Niagara Falls to keep the starving illegals from Mississauga out of Gold Mountain.

Hear he's gonna build one from the Chesapeake Bay down around Florida to Brownsville to keep out Muzzies, refugees, and hurricanes.

More like a Texas Ranger coming as the only law in a lawless town. The part the opposition hates is his quick ad-lib replies, and he is correct down to the 'only Rosie O'Donnal' comment. It would be the interviewer who is being helped behind the scenes when Trump is part of the show.

You mean Canada sending the seniors down to Mexico as survival down there fits the new pension model for the baby boomers? He would open a corridor as long as American seniors could be included whether or not they liked the idea.

No, no. Some of the candidates want to build a wall along the Canadian border because they are sure that illegals and terrorists are sneaking into USA in the dead of night.

Dead of night?? They used to love to see Canadians come across the border when the bars were not open in Alberta on Sunday. Population 100, 47 bars, location 20 ft across the border.

There are border towns in Quebec/Vermont hundreds of years old with the border running right through some old buildings. We are protected by Great Lakes and waterways in this part of the continent. The American border cities around here .... Buffalo, Niagara Falls,NY, Detroit, even rely heavily on Canadian consumers. The GTA is the "big city" here and Americans come the Canada in large numbers to do big city things. As a matter of fact, in the entire East, the big cities are all in Canada, with the possible exeption of Boston ... which is a couple of time larger than Halifax Dartmouth but still about a third of the size of relatively nearby Montreal.

So how were you fighting NATO's adversaries? According to your post you were fighting them somehow.
