Nor they you. Ya....You showed 'em.

How you go from the thread title regarding a polemic on the thanking someone for service to a rant on spending is something only you and your therapist understand. And I have "a clue."

As a Coast Guard E6, you are confident of you ability to make these claims? Fortunately, corporate America has a different view.

So would a group of airline pilots who enjoyed the "freedom" of going to work to take care of passengers and get them where they're going without having their throats slashed.

Want to read something "interesting." Rough, but interesting. "Can't Kill Enough To Win....Think Again." https://m.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2017-12/cant-kill-enough-win-think-again

From folks like you, I don't want it. It was an honor and something that set me up for life. Again, regarding the actress issue, you have absolutely no idea of the impact of what she did, and it absolutely falls in the treason range. I'm not going to overstate it, but it was treason, by definition. To claim that someone who has that view is the victim of bad information, or "what you have been told" is immensely disrespectful to those who went through it and relayed what they know.

You really don't get this do you? Whether the government decides to prosecute or not is based on a lot of different factors. The fact is that the Tokyo Rose issue was successfully prosecuted under the the reference I have mentioned twice. It is exactly what this actress did. Regarding your claim of me "avoiding" something," its not odd, and I'm not avoiding. Its simply not worth spending the time for a response.

The specifics of the Tokyo Rose issue don't matter. What matters is what is written in the US Constitution re treason, and that case is precedent. That is what applies to this self absorbed actress, and that is what you have, in my view, erroneously commented on.

I am quite familiar with the Tokyo Rose issue. What matters is what is written in the Constitution Article 3 Section 3.

Don't thank me for my service. You have absolutely no idea what she caused. Tokyo Rose was convicted of doing exactly what this moron did, there just wasn't any appetite for pursuing it, and I'm glad it turned out that way. I don't give a rat's ass what her "goal" was, nor do the people who were impacted in any way, and I'm quite certain you don't either. One thing I do know is that her crap was used, and used against people who were in POW camps during her idiotic "altruistic" campaign.

You don't get to judge what constitutes treason. US Constitution Article 3 Section 3. "or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort." Jane Fonda did exactly that when she agreed to participate in Radio Hanoi propaganda programs. She didn't speak "to" the enemy, she spoke "for" the enemy, and she didn't offer any hint of remorse for such ill advised stupidity until there was an economic component. You have no idea of what i don't like to "speak out against." It matters not a whit when she did it in the context of that war. She did it while US servicemen were being held in North Vietnamese torture camps. She has/had no idea what was being targeted and why, and I know exactly what her claim was. Further, your claim in a previous post that I should: "Do some research and educate yourself before spewing what you've "learned" from others, " I challenge as well. I would suggest that you "learned" it from others as well. Where I "learned" it was from people I served with as a light attack pilot in the Pacific Fleet. In case you don't know, that is the group that delivered weapons during that war, and a number of them ended up in POW camps. On my first cruise, a good deal of the more senior officers, 04 and above, all served in Viet Nam, and knew all about what her actions caused. In addition, it was discussed at SERE school, (POW) school. I trust those people more than any others I have ever met, and certainly trust their judgement more than some ignorant young woman empowered by noting other than celebrity, who hadn't any clue what the hell she was doing. And I don't consider her the "devil." She was just a typical self absorbed idiot in way over her head.

If you take an RV on the road with your current knowledge base, you soon will be.

"“If a prisoner tried to escape, it is quite understandable that he would probably be beaten and tortured.” That was said by an individual and it was said regarding US POWs held by the North Vietnamese. That individual also made radio broadcasts at the behest of Radio Hanoi, during the war. That individual also posed for a picture on an anti aircraft gun. She later claimed she had no idea what she was doing. Her "apologies" came coincident with movie openings that protesters were recommending be boycotted. She gave aid and comfort to an enemy during a war. I have "educated" myself on this puke.

What she did transcended political choice. It was treason, and people got hurt for it.

Unforgivable, and she has never really admitted her stupidity.

Another frawed.

I suspect everything surprises you. When you get out of high school, things will clear up. Or maybe not.

I think we have a failure to see sarcasm.

Its all free. Solar.....Free. Wood....Free. Propane....Free. Putting some piece of junk on land you don't own.....Free. I am amazed that someone didn't think about this already. Maybe they wanted to have a life that included others. Fools. In your case, the RV would be fatal.

Put that baby under a window and you've got a "solar system." It would help your cause if you wrote sentences like an educated human. But.... The question about what is "cheaper" was never the issue. The issue is your ridiculous claims, and total ignorance of anything related to this. If you want cheap, just go the full homeless route. By the way. There is another "settled" item in this thread. You may not be able to figure that out, but everyone else has.

If you are telling the truth about buying an RV and becoming a full timer, I cannot more strongly advise you to spend a lot of time reading what others have posted on at least these two forums: http://www.rvforum.net/SMF_forum/index.php http://www.irv2.com/forums/ Based on what you have posted here, you don't stand a chance of making informed decisions without a lot of additional education, and I don't say that in a mean spirited way. Based on what you have posted here, I could sell you a cheap skylight and tell you it was a "solar system." Just learning what suits you and is a good value is way beyond what you seem to understand here, and frankly, for a guy who claims to have just wrapped 20 years of active duty but seems to have not thought about life afterwards, I'm not hopeful. Anyway, if you read those forums, you will find out a great deal about the efficacy and expense of solar. Simple things- like they have to be portable because permanent mounted ones will last about 20 miles bolted to a roof that isn't built for that weight going 60 mph with stuff hitting them and being constantly rattled. Portable ones are much less efficient, and ever speaking in terms of one is preposterous. Additionally, most sane people park in shaded areas for obvious reasons. You will also find that most people don't burn wood in an RV. That is a really, really bad idea. If you have 20 amp service, you can use a relatively small space heater that costs about $80. That's what I use, and it works great. And you know what else you don't seem to understand? Wood is not cheap at all, and really stupid to haul it around. That's why nobody does it. RV parks won't let you bring in your own for bug purposes and buying it there is quite expensive. There's always a small amount for camp fires etc. If you stay outside an RV park I doubt you are going to be able to cut it, and burning wet wood is silly. I don't use the thermostatically controlled propane heating system because propane is expensive. The only thing I use my propane system for is heating water or cooking when I need it, but the microwave is usually a better idea. My RV is quite small, and I use it maybe four times a year for three day trips, but I spent a lot of time reading those forums before I did anything, and it is mandatory to do so. You can get yourself in a whole lot of trouble very quickly unless you know what you're doing, and you are grossly uninformed about this issue. You know literally nothing about energy value. If its all about saving money, you couldn't be more off course. Truth be told, based on what you have posted in this thread, if you bought some rig now and marched off into the wild, I would pay big money for the movie rights to that adventure, and pay the burial expenses. If you did something in a permanent location, that would be different, but understand those are usually very undesirable locations and there is zero resale value.

I've got free pizza for life from a place in Detroit, if anyone's interested.

And way too much shade by the river.

You know, calling people "dumbass" and "retard," which you have done in this thread, all the while providing an enormous amount of evidence that you have no idea what you are talking about doesn't serve your purpose. A reasonable person makes decisions based on knowledge and facts. I'm guessing you have no idea about anything electric. No...I'm sure of it. When you watch this video, which, by inference, seems to make your point, are you listening to what is being said? The thing is putting out 7 amps. Go into any house and look at the circuit breaker panel. Look at the ratings for each circuit. They are noted on each circuit breaker. The normal minimum is 15 amps. So....What this guy is getting is roughly one half of one circuit in any normal house. About what you would use to power one half of one room. If he was in a house, he would have one circuit breaker delivering one half of what any normal single circuit would have. I don't even have a circuit in my RV that is that small. He is using it to power an extremely small pump, and top off his batteries. I guarantee you that if he is using his batteries, which he absolutely must if he doesn't have another source, ie., regular power, this thing isn't going to put out near enough power to keep him alive. Based on what you have posted in this thread, you would be a true sucker for some moron trying to sell something useless to someone stupid. I have an electrical service monitor in my small rv. It displays voltage, freqs and amps. Using any two items with of any power is going to be over 7 amps. Bang/crash/ burn. I would never consider doing anything in any structure I intended to put anyone I loved in unless I had 20 amps, roughly three times what his little thing is putting out. Cease this video link nonsense and admit you have no idea what you are talking about. Still waiting for you to show me how our travelling girl has any solar in her "tiny house."

So now "solar is free energy," kind of like rv fees aren't rent. There are no fees to purchase and install a solar system which includes panels, an inverter, a monitor and installation. Then, of course there's that nasty little requirement to place the panel(s) in the sun, which in your non air conditioned "free" dwelling is going to heat up like Auschwitz. In three days the dog rams a hole in the wall to escape. In five days your incinerated, mummified remains are discovered. The coroner comments "Just another sad, dead, tiny houser saving a few bucks a month." For the same price, Could have joined in with a couple of roomates and lived like a human.
