I guess poeracing really did break his arm, here is his picture takin shortly after the accident.

HA ha that was funny  

Very funny

We're usualy really cool but I have to say you've pushed several of my "red buttons" with this picture. I realize that it is a joke but it has real underlying idialogical tones that Im not real appreciative of. I hope that you didnt realize what is going on in this picture becouse this is an Army vet. crying to America becouse he paid the price for his fellow Americans and he is now protesting the Institution that he freely and without coersion joined and served until his disablement and likely discharge. I would hope that you please remove the above picture becouse it is very offensive to me to see brothers in arms crying becouse they had to do their part for the American freedom that so many paid the ultimate price for and so many without complaint. I hope you understand how hurt I am by this and hope in the future that you consider your posts a little more for things like this. Thank you P.O.2 Bryan Rutan USN / EN2.2 

         

 WEll that was actually a joke picture, but I don't think you understood it right.

 

Let me say this again, this is not a joke! You have a picture that is anti- U.S Army clearly posted. It clearly implies that if you want to be disabled you can get this way daily while in the ARMY weither you pulled it from a humor site or put it together yourself you still need to remove it becouse it is inflamatory and deragatory. Please remove the post.

         

When First seeing this pic. I was going to rip into crazy. But like he said, He ment it as a joke.  And upon ferther thought . I think the feed back good and bad would be more educational and informitive then anything els. And although he dint mean it the way that it inplies. what we fight for is the right to feel and speak and post whatever you might believe. So i say leave it up and . And i know that yz crazy ment it as a joke. But its the right of anyone who really feels that way to reply any way that they wish!!!!!!!! Thats my thought.  

Thank you EN2.2 you said it well, but woods has a point, and I will defend his rights with my life and I'm sure you will too. Yes it did bother me too, and I was alittle put out.

Just remember, "Freedom holds a sweeter tast by those that have fought to protect and preserve it that will never be tasted by the protected"

love the sister in the back ground HOT!!!!

That is a very strong quate. I thank you for reminding me of my responsibility. BTW Do you know who that quate is by?

         

No, sorry. Its not quite quoted correctly, i dont think. I had a discussion with some of our pilots and they remember it too, but can't recall who said it. But we are of agreement that it's probably for one of the WWII generals sometime after the war.

For those who fought for it, Freedom has a taste that the protected will never know.

I think Jack Nicholson said it best in a few good men!

Col. Jessep: Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

I spent alot of time and effort becoming a marine. And let me say although that was good. You have WAY to much time on your hands!!!!!!!!!!!!
