Tux of Borg Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Which is something that a civilian would never understand. I'd like to see some of the linguini-types around here work on a gun battery for a day or two. MWAA! 343440[/snapback] Another thing they wouldn't understand is UCMJ. Being 5 minutes late for work could get you 14 days extra duty and a loss of 2 weeks pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civilians have no clue. None. And yet they PRETEND to know enough to second-guess the military. Sickening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good percentage of them don't own a firearm and wouldn't be able to adequately protect themselves from a teenager. At the first sign of trouble, curl up into the fetal position with thumb firmly entrenched in gullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect you of all people to try a little harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good percentage of them don't own a firearm and wouldn't be able to adequately protect themselves from a teenager. Not (currently) owning a firearm and never having enlisted in the military, I'm curious what the relationship between the two might be because I'm not seeing how the two could be related.
