Bin Laden Dead

[Devotee]

Also, Devotee, you don't know anything at all about guys like me.

I never claimed to. Having said that, i didn't mean to cause offense or seem judgemental and let me make it perfectly clear that 'people like you' (i.e.: military personnel who have served/are serving in Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.) deserve respect simply for your bravery.

Either way, i was actually referring to your blanket "it's all the same to me" statement when in fact, there is quite a fucking huge difference between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. A lot of Americans seem to make the same mistake, is all.

Having been to Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, and spending 13 months patrolling the border of Pakistan/Aghanistan, I'm very aware of their varying government structures and their broad cultural differences.

Have you been to Afghanistan or Iraq to compare the two? If not, then stay in your lane.

Also, yes, you did seem to think you know something about the men like me when you posted about how "people like me are the reason most of the world hate 'Muricans." You seem to think you have any idea who I am and what I do. Stop there. Stay in your lane.

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
-Martin Luther King, Jr

Good quote.
Maybe King was not expecting something like Osama, but still.
I was wandering, most of you guys being American, do you always believe this stuff? I mean, they dumped him in the ocean so that no-one has a chance of proofing that they just killed him...
I'm just naturally skeptic, I personally don't care for these news since I will never no the real truth behind them like most people. I'm not saying that this is all bullshit, there is just no proof... right?
I mean no disrespect with this. Only my opinion.

Hmm, just in time for Obamas reelection campaign, coincidence??

so that explains why Bush didn't bother to get him. No chance of re-election for a third term, no incentive to catch the bad guy?

[Tricky]

The one with the big mouth, isnt the one I would want coverin my ass in the shit.

Devotee,

I just read through what I posted earlier and I was being an arrogant ass. I could make up some excuse why, but it all comes down to I was being an ass. My apologies.

Anyone seen pics of the multi-million dollar "mansion" he was vacationing in? $1M apparently doesn't go far in Pakistan.

The high price has to do with all the bribes that were accepted locally to let him live in relative peace.

10 years Trillions of dollars for what a 40 minute Seal Op... :think:

[Soap]

I love the level of stupidity these theorists and conspirators have.
I could only watch about 5 minutes of it.

Either way bin laden is dead. Good to know.

[atomic charvel guy]

Bah, no harm no foul, no worries mate.

Fucking hell, well done DRM, I was just firing up for the most indignant (and probably antagonistic) riposte to your earlier post, but your apology stopped me in my tracks. Without going any further down the path of who hates who and why, your apologising like that shows that there's some hope, peace is all about compromise and humility. If there's more like you, things are looking up.


Now, Devotee, you really need to try harder, that was pathetic, you are letting the side down. If you want to wind them up, start throwing around vague statements about gun control and mention Vietnam. And The Bay of Pigs. Um, and Guatemala...and Somalia. FFS, buck your game up.

Right, where were we? Oh yes, Elton John's tribute song to Bin Laden - "Sandals in the Bin"...

Enjoy.

*EDIT: "Heads" up...NSFW. Given who I got the pic from, I have no trouble believing this is the real deal.

It comes down to professionalism. Inadvertently, my actions are a reflection of the rest of the NCO's in service. My being an ass only does a disservice to the Infantry and everything we've worked for.

I'm paid to jump out of planes and do bad things to bad people; not argue on an anonymous internet forum that, in the big picture, means nothing. As ghey as all that peace, love, happiness stuff is, it's just the right thing to do here.

Now, back to what really matters: Osama taking a dirt nap.
