Comments on: The Kinder, Gentler Military http://www.soldiersperspective.us/2006/06/01/the-kinder-gentler-military/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-kinder-gentler-military Military Blog - A Soldier's Perspective Tue, 07 Sep 2010 04:17:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Justfighttheenemy http://www.soldiersperspective.us/2006/06/01/the-kinder-gentler-military/#comment-12313 Justfighttheenemy Sat, 03 Jun 2006 15:11:34 +0000 http://www.soldiersperspective.us/?p=985#comment-12313 There has been a marked change on this blog which many obviously greet with enthusiasm. However, courtesy and good manners are appropriate in the general interaction of informed people, regardless of what you do and say in your personal lives. In addition, surely it is enough to be fighting Islamofascist terrorists and the far left, now you are taking on Officers, Senior NCOs, Management etc. and people who prefer not to be confronted with unbleeped vocabulary. While you on the blog and your chorus above may not realize it, this all says more about you than it does about those you are now lamenting in such an immature fashion.

You too could be awaiting courts martial. Just be glad that you weren't near a Battle ship commenting on how the BIG GUNs affected you. You too could be awaiting courts martial.

It's always been true. We put old ladies in retirement homes but senior officers lead our military. Deplorable situation. Higher up officers get the more they resemble old ladies!

Pretty silly but its all part of the game of dealing with management no matter if it's wall street or a bunch of queens in funky town. At least you didn't include "cock plucker" or "mother trucker" (edited for all you officers) if you had you would be in the marine corp somewhere wondering what the hell a dick skinner is. Hopfully all interested parties were trained and no open spots were left unfilled. When dealing with PC in the military just remind the parties involved Clinton established "Don't ask don't tell", for a reason and there is no need to out your self unnecessarily. Watch the heads spin. I'm "pretty [explitive deleted] Got Damn" sure who ever started the whole politically correct genre should be banisehed to run Irans sucide brigades.

I have a very good working relationship with my big boss and am able to say just about anything as long as I follow it with "sir." One day I walked into his office not realizing he was on the phone as he gestured me in, and I said a big "WTF, sir" but I used the real words. His eyes got a little bigger, then came a glare. A glare that would have made me turn to stone if I had looked long enough. He pointed at the mouth piece mouths, "Maj, LtCol, and Gen." I've got one, too.

The forum is full of vets, vets wives, and retirees. We don't allow any of the left to come in and stir up trouble because I toss them immediately. This fourm is designed to support the United States, it's defenders, and it's policies. We would love to have you drop by and take a look and join if you wish. It is a discussion forum and well monitored. Myself, I am a Vietnam infantry vet making me one of the older ones. I would love to hear from more vets, especially vets of the current Iraqi/Afghanistan war. I want the true story from your perspective, not what the media chooses to tell us. Being an infantry vet I know the story is entirely different than what we are hearing. We support everything you are doing and understand the military since most of us have been there. These blogs help us a lot but your comments on any discussion threads would be honestly appreciated. Thanks Terry Foote Old (growing older) 1st Cav grunt conservativesforum.com/

If an officer, or Senior NCO I'll add, can't take straight talk, they need to do some reassessing. I don't have time for pleasantries.
