'Drich, which of the millions of different christian denominations goes to Heaven?'

Oh, yeah? my cousin is a colonel in the Rangers, and he's the one who told me that. He said when ever they went into an area with known hostiles durning the push on Baghdad, the chaplains would come and offer prayers, not one of the men in his company refused the chaplain when they were under fire.

His 'company?'

Lol. Yeah. Your cousin isn't a Ranger.

Colonels are brigade COs. Not company COs. Company COs are captains.

By the way, that's a little something we call "stolen valor."

By the way, chaplains do not offer prayers in the middle of a firefight. For one thing, they are unarmed noncombatants. For another thing, Rangers are not going to stop shooting the enemy to drop to their knees and start praying, and Rangers are not units that are supposed to stop and slog; they're QRF and light infantry, which means they move fast, hit fast, and kill fast. Finally, the Rangers did not participate in the push towards Baghdad; they were too busy dropping from planes to take over the Haditha Dam, known as Objective Serpent.

Your "cousin" would not be aware of the direct goings-on of his troops to such a detail as to say "none of them refused the chaplain," either, as he would be far too busy directing the operations of 1000+ men.

Did you seriously try to pull an SV on someone who actually DOES have family in the 75th? SERIOUSLY? You didn't think you would be called out?

You fucking liar.

Your anecdote doesn't cancel out his anecdote.

His anecdote isn't even a real one; it's a blatant lie, and he's starting to seriously piss me the fuck off.
