| DerAdlerWatEver! Are you a complete idiot?
I said I am very well aware what military force uses the Paladin.
I was NOT suggesting the Paladin was not worthy weapon.
I WAS expressing my extreme displeasure in the current administration's decision to participate in this operation. I have lost two friends in Iraq...for reasons I feel are bullshit!
Are we clear?

Country:  | Not cool man. I understand you are upset at having lost some friends there but that does not give you the right to abuse someone else who was only asking what you meant.
If you have a problem with someone, take it to private messages. I will not allow this thread to degrade into another insult fest. Clear?

Besides getting my friends killed and wasting my tax money?
| How is he stupid, when you said that about Paladins? To me, and everyone else, it sounds like you're saying the Paladin killed your friends and is wasting tax money.
Show your distaste for the Iraq war in a more clear manner and somewhere else, basically.

Country: | I agree my condolences to you also. Trust me unpunk I know how you feel about your friends. I was there. I spent a year there and just got back. I saw many young soldiers die and I personally picked them up off the battlefield in my helicopter. You are entitled to your feelings about the war just as everyone else. I just ask that you look at the good things that are happening there and not what the media wants people to believe. Because the media only shows half the story. And please dont condemn the soldiers who are fighting there. It is not our fault and we are only doing our duty that we volunteered to do.
