Thank you John. Friends are hard to find around here. (sigh)

If you just stopped lying, and started admitting when you had screwed
the
pooch (i.e., the whole "Guard was back home while we did the fightin'"
crap)
you'd have more friends. Continuing to deny reality after you have been
corrected by umpteen other posters does little to enamor the average
poster.

Brooks


Neither of you are exactly covering yourselves with glory in this ****ing
match. Both of you are splashing yourselves AND the bystanders.

A pox on both your houses! Anyone else feel the same way?

Tex, merely pointing out Art's less than truthful characterizations of the
men and units who were fighting long before he entered into the fray is not
a bad thing in my book. You don't like it, just delete the messages and be
done with it. Unfortunately, evidence indicates that some misguided folks do
still tend to place some degree of trust in Art's word -- I don't
particularly care to see his lies about the Guard and Reserve in WWII hang
around in cyberspace for eternity without the truth being included. Just as
I was not too crazy about his past characterizations of those servicemembers
who did their assigned duty during the war but did not get to actively
engage the enemy in direct combat. Art has posted so much factually
incorrect BS that it is hard to imagine taking *anything* he has to say as
being truthful. I am really sorry if this all hurts your tender feelings.

Actually, it would be a pox on Art's house. Art has lied and been caught
out by Kevin. Its quite entertaining.

BTW, after all of these repeated claims from you that you *volunteered* for
service during the war, what was that bit about getting your call-up notice
on the very day you turned eighteeen all about? Were you actually a draftee
(nothing wrong with that, except for the fact that you have repeatedly
claimed otherwise in the past), or did you hightail it for the USAAF
recruiters' office only after you got your notice? Gotta watch those errant
slips of the tongue you are so prone towards--they tend to reveal a distinct
lack of honesty in regards to your past claims.

You are so ****ing stupid and ignorant. YOu can't be drafted into Air Crew or
into the Air Cadet Corps. It is 100% a volunteer service, How stupid can you
be? Your ignorance is appalling.

For months I took his lying **** and never said a word. Now I am tired of
taking his crap. And the free ride of that lying **** is over.

I was referring to the personal abuse (on both sides) and I find it
deplorable. If you cannot see that you can correct the error without the
abuse, you too suffer from the same obstinacy Art has demonstrated. We have
a couple of people here who are so vicious toward John Tarver (who I blocked
years ago and ignore) that I'm starting to have a tiny bit of sympathy
toward him.

I'm for a kinder, gentler newsgroup but then I also wish for World Peace.
Like I said, neither of you have covered yourselves in glory.

Uhmm..you were the one who specifically stated you received your call-up
notice on your eighteenth birthday, and have at the same time repeatedly
claimed to have volunteered for service (not just for flight duty). So
what's the story (this time)? You got your notice and high tailed it to the
recruiting office in order to stay one-step ahead of serving in the
infantry, or what?

Your lack of military experience is turning you into a bigger fool than ever..
fool. You were obviously drafted since oyu never volunteered for anything where
you might get hurt. I guess you are the Ohio Coward. Right?
