ONE ... mind you ... ONE day "under fire" negates your 300 days per year. TIME?
 "*TOTAL*" time? ... You're funny ... then you put "working" into it?  YOU
SIR... Yes *YOU*... are not a person that I like to see representing as you are
trying to do.

YOU "*TRY* to be objective and emotional WRT this" ... but ... you are
misrepresenting in a way that offends me.

For you to say "The average combat troops didn't do that much towards winning
the war" makes me want to slap you in the face!

*TIME* ... we *ALL* have plenty of that ... picture youself as an airplane
mechanic with bullets flying around you as you were trying to get aircraft off
the ground during an attack (as a mechanic) and then
consider yourself lucky, *DAMNED LUCKY*, that you weren't *THERE*.

Sorry... I forgot... I souldn't disrespect your old ignorant ass because -you-
won the war knobing nuts and bolts in a cushy facility where the hottest thing
you saw was babes who liked a uniform (as if you were anything), and those poor
guys who didn't know how to fx airplanes had to put up only a little bit of
their time shooting, getting shot at, and ... well ... just ending up dead ...
so you could live on and tell us how -you- won the war.

Your arrogance is sickening to me.

 FS|>> Much of their "off" time is either spent in training (which is
 FS|>> non-productive by definition) or just waiting around.

And -you're- off time?  Drink a beer.  Go home to wifey or pick somebody up? 
Fly your uniform like you -were- a "soldier".

Where did -you- spend your "off" time?  Where did -they-?  They weren't "off".

 FS> It isn't contributing directly to winning the war.  It's merely
 FS> preparing them for *future* endeavors.

You may have well been working at a Ford plant with future drivers at
question... really wouldn;t have been no different, but the uniform would have
been.

 FS> I don't glorify myself at all.  I merely followed orders -- as
 FS> does the typical combat soldier.

Then don't... I repeat DON'T ... represent yourself as a "war winner"... just
an over glorified plant worker in a non-hostile environment (unless you can
account for the Jerry Springer type things you must have been involved in since
the real men were overseas).

 RC>> To say
 RC>> that your efforst "did more to win the war" than the front line soldier
 RC>> is ludicrous.

 FS> That's because you aren't looking at it *objectively*.  You see
 FS> the soldier during those short periods of combat being in far
 FS> more danger than *I* was and stop thinking objectively.  Don't
 FS> let *emotion* rule!

Listen pinky ... I give up! YOU ... won the war.


 RC>> The front line soldier risked far more every day than you did back in
 RC>> the U.S. fixing broken aircraft.

 FS> True ... so?


So nothing ... YOU ... won the war.  You big brave man. (or at least I bet you
played it with the ladies, or at least the whores).
 FS>
 FS|>> OK, now let's see if you can respond without smearing ... [sigh]
 FS|>> ...

 RC>> No smearing.  Stating facts ... if you cannot accept the facts, that
 RC>> would not be my problem.

What Ross said ... I double it.

 FS> It doesn't seem to be *I* who cannot accept facts.  I am being
 FS> objective while emotion seems to rule your comments.

No... you're not being objective ... you're playing something far beyond what
was the truth, and far beyond what what a "soldier" was, only to make you feel
your dying days are better than what your life really was.  Pitty ... to have
to resort to what you do so you can feel good about yourself as you croak, when
it's all a bunch of lies. We see through it ... pitty you can't.

 RC>> I don't think anyone here would agree with your statement that you did
 RC>> more to win the war than the frontline soldiers.

Hello Ross!  You got that one right.

 RC>> While I agree your
 RC>> part was important,

Yes, it was.

 RC>> it does not qualify as more than the what the
 RC>> soldier did every day.

No it doesn't.
