LOL! I have served more years in uniform than you did. What a fool.

It's not how long you served. It is what you did while serving. Tell us
about
your 20 years behind a desk in Ohio.

Art, Kevin Brooks is often irritating but still well worth listening to.
It's not his fault that he wasn't sent to a war while he was serving; I
had the same problem and was quite glad of it. Willing to go if ordered,
but my mother raised no fools.

He's got a good and varied depth of experience: I can't confirm "he was
in location X with unit Y at time Z" but I _can_ confirm that he knows
what he's talking about on a good range of subjects. That's one reason
he and I argue a lot: we both know what we're talking about, we just see
it from different angles.




(Kevin, cut Art some slack. He's old, grumpy and often arrogant, but
also well worth listening to on the areas he knows. Or else put him in a
killfile and ignore him.)

But Art has made a habit of not only extolling his "I was there" crap

Don't you wish you could say the same "crap" Bitter jealousy is not a pretty
sight. Right wannabee?

I no longer talk to Art, but I thought I'd just mention in passing that my
brother never spent a day in uniform during WWII, although he could have passed
the physical if anyone asked him to take one. All he did was to help develop
the atomic bomb as part of the Manhattan Project. That's all.

about
your 20 years behind a desk in Ohio.

The only military duty I ever did in Ohio was to serve as the OIC of the
burial detail for a young soldier from the 3rd Ranger Battalion who had
wrapped his car around a telephone pole, leaving behind his wife pregnant
with their first (only) child. You do pick lousy examples for your snide
and
off-target barbs, don't you? You are one sad sack of fecal matter,
regardless of your service during WWII.

Then why do you read everything I write and hang on every word.

I don't. You kind of screwed up on the Ohio bit, huh?

Then answer at
length deeply involved in my every post as though you have been waiting
for
each one?.

I just respond to your more ridiculous assertions.

Tell me wannabbee, why?

Art, believe me, the very last thing in the world I'd "wannabe" is you, or
anything remotely like you. For some unknown reason you think your WWII
service by itself makes you something others want to emulate, but it takes a
lot more than that. At your age you should know that.

Good for your brother. But you get no credit for that.

Well, there you go, George, he was just another cowardly slacker.
At least I'm sure some about RAM will see it that way.

Yep. Cowardly slacker that he was, he probably did more for our country than
all of the blowhards populating this NG did put together. AAMOF, he probably
ought to get credit for saving a good number of their lives because the war
would have dragged on in the Far East and caused us large numbers of additional
casualties had that weapon not been developed and used.
