But how the heck would locals know you served in 1983 anyways? All it would prove is a previouse lie.
Lots of liberals lie about service in nam.
To their friends today.
The love the increas in in their crediblility on issues.
Anyways, just as you guys can sniff out racists, i can sniff out posers.
And your fitting the profile.

Ungrateful said:Peebs innocent self-pleasuring fantasies about big soldier men, reminds me of this brilliant account of Western special forces I read on another newsgroup from 4 years ago -- at the time Don Rumsfeld said his first job would be capture Bin laden (if you can't remember the period it was around the same time that G. W. Bush was going to end terrorism) -- and the newspapers were indulging Peebs erotic thoughts by giving glorious accounts of 'elite units', prompting this analysis from the brilliant R. Smith:
US Delta Force
Havent seen much action since a series of Chuck Norris movies in the 80s, this was the unit that was famously brought in to Lebanon in the 80s to make not one jot of difference to the hostage crisis.
US Rangers
Still smarting after losing 18 men in Somalia, where they were pitted against an old Russian anti aircraft gun mounted on a Toyota truck and an angry mob. Should be a formidable force unless facing angry men with sticks.
Navy S.E.A.L.S.
Again not seen since Somalia, where they made their secret beach landing, in front of CNN. Experts at secret insertion missions. See their web site or call their PR office for details of their next attack.
Special Forces Green Berets
Experts in covert operations, these units are heavily equipped with acronyms and abbreviations. Trained in unconventional warfare some units are so special they arent even military. In fact one is rumoured to be a chip shop in Skipton.
SAS
Long the wanking fantasy of many British defence secretary, these troops proved in the Falklands that there was no one better at dealing with enemy untrained teenage conscripts. Famous Bravo Two Zero mission in Iraq unfortunately foiled by small boy with goat, but invaluable in Kosovo, working behind enemy lines to guide cruise missiles onto plywood dummy tanks, refugee columns etc

pbman said:Its been my expiarane that anyone who did served would at the very least proudly identify, his branch of service.
I was in the navy,or army or marines or whatever.
But 9 timess out of ten they will say exatly were they served, as in i was in the navy on so and so ship..........
To do less than that is the classic sign of a poser.......
But pretty common among liberals, at least in the us.

Not so much "tend to stand there" as get deployed there and aren't allowed to move unless you're given specific orders to.revol68 said:correction dipshit British troops never policed Northern Ireland, thats why they always had to have an RUC/PSNI officier with them.
Secondly, it's been a very long time since British troops have been involved in day to day patrols, instead they tend to stand there and get the balls knocked off them in riots ala Drumcree.

Incidentally, everyone knows that the French Foreign Legion would fucking have the Green Berets and the Navy Seals for breakfast.
