    I don't think at any point, though I virtually NEVER agree with your comments, have I talked ugly at you as you just did to me.

    My parents were devout Democrats. I was also one until around age 42 when i finally figured Democrats out.

    I was a Democrat and very loyal when I was in the Army. Frankly in the Army, I can't recall any republican taking me on nor did i take them on. Something about being a virtual slave in the Army kept this down. I drove a Jeep in the Army for maybe a month.

    In the Army you will obey orders. Which is what you did.

    Just joined this topic and have to go back to find out why you are mad. All I can tell you is that conservative does not mean approving civilians being harmed. I attack Abe Lincoln for his war against civilians all the time. I would never get caught approving the slaying of civilians.

    Guess who raises hell with me for my attacking Abe Lincoln? I note they are Democrats. Democrats lying that they quit being racists.

    You are a conservative who quotes my post coming on me for calling out conservatives for remaining silent while one of their own says killing civilians is fun but you don't quote his post and call him out for saying killing civilians is fun.

    Thank you for proving my point.

    Yep, you love murdering civilians. You would have created a thousand new recruits for the Iraqi insurgency.

    How is not murdering civilians "indefensible"? Or are you trying to say Apacherat is a liberal?

    Notice again everyone that a Conservative poster will quote my post calling out a conservative for advocating murdering civilians but won't quote his post and call him out themselves, thereby tacitly supporting his position.

    The Obama administration policy was, if you were close enough to be killed or wounded by a Hellfire missile fired from a UAV (drone) you became an unlawful combatant.

    They are not at all liberal. But it is the fight reflex they have. Notice in a crowd where beatings happen. Normally it is the rage of Democrats that commences the beatings. Republicans stand about thinking of a good reply but Democrats slug it out. They are taught to be violent.

    I didn't see where it came from, just that it travelled over my hood left to right. I was in a two person cargo Humvee, just me (the driver) and my TC. I was watching the road, and there was no way in hell he was going to shoot across me while we were driving on pothole hell that was Route Irish.

    I could have blindly opened fire on the civilian apartments which lined the road, if I wanted to murder civilians, but I'm not a sociopath like Apacherat.

    Call out whom? I have read your rage now over half a dozen posts. Why do you want to start up a worse fight?

    Apacherat has multiple times advocated for murdering civilians, even indicating doing so is "fun", and yet not a single Conservative will call him out.

    I thought it was republicans defending Confederate statues and flags on state house lawns and in the center of towns?

    You made the claim, you provide the evidence.

    Or you can just admit that you pulled it out of ass and are lying. Because you are.

    That is much more of the story than told at first.

    First, when i was in the Infantry, I also got to fire the 3.5 Rocket launcher. So i know a bit about the RPG weapon. You probably were wise enough to realize if you kept rolling, you were a smaller target than a target firing is. Due to the racket of defensive weapons. I fired at moving targets pulled by a jeep. I was far better at it than the other men were alongside me also firing. I get it that it takes time to reload the launcher. it takes the second man loading the weapon. If one man does it solely, he has to stoop over to grab another round to put it onto the launcher. Then he has to locate the target, in your case moving and bouncing, and then aim again and actually hit it. He missed you.

    Apacherat never heard the full story did he?

    Does Apacherat actually merit all of your name calling? Are you proud to talk about him like you are doing?

    Sure it was. How does that answer the question asked of the Democrats posting here?

    He has literally advocated murdering civilians. How is that name calling? Yes, I am proud to call out people who think murdering civilians is fun.

    When i was in the Army, and only in training, .... a lot depends on facts. Even then, one being fired at has next to no spare time to round up facts. That is why they train men to wage war. Even then, the training is not one that lasts a moment or two. My Army training never stopped when I was in.

    I wonder if you actually asked him to explain to you if he wants civilians murdered? Maybe he just knew the reality of combat. That when being fired at, those who are targets do not take the time to debate if the fire has civilians around the shooter or perhaps they are the shooter support base. Civilians are used to carry ammo. Can you admit that much?

    Since you say you drove the humvee. And you had a TC ???? alongside you. What was the view of the TC? Did the TC want to fire but you said hell no?
