very opposed. the man is a ass. most likely he would say the same about me. BUT i dont care how much "embed" experience he has had, he is still not military. i have been shot at and i have killed. he has done neither.

I have not cared for the content of many of shooter's posts, and he's deleted a few of my replies in his threads if he doesn't like them. So I vote nay. We can interact elsewhere, please.

Okay, I guess I need to ask about this as well, as the closest I ever got to active duty was a year of NROTC in college (dropped it as I found out that, due to my eyesight pre-LASIK, there was no way I'd ever be a line officer).

I'm currently a contractor working in Mannheim, Germany, and will likely be here for the next couple of years. While I don't have any pretensions about being in the service, the fact is that I'm in theatre, and also a stone's throw away from Landstuhl, where one of us (burners, that is) could wind up under good or not-so-good circumstances. So I'm a resource.

Normally, I tend to shut up and watch for a while before saying anything (if I say anything at all), but the last thing I want to do is go where I'm explicitly (or, in this case, implicitly) not wanted.

Cheers all
