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."

(I know the title says garrison commander, but if you will read it show this ltc as a company commander)
Looks like ole Drichie can support what he says yet again.. Why? Because it's the truth. Even if it maybe the exception and not the rule.
Btw I'm calling what you did 'valor hating.'
That is unless your saying these men were also 'stealing valor.'
Quote:By the way, chaplains do not offer prayers in the middle of a firefight.it like you making crap up to be angry about. I said the prayers were offered before they went into an area with known hostiles.
Quote: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.My cousin was indeed an ltc and did command a company as a ranger in gulf 1. He retired and was called back for gulf 2 as regular army,(per my father's recollection) and did indeed command a company and pushed to Baghdad. (He missed my wedding as he was deployed.)
I don't know what he did in gulf 1 but I do know after gulf one he. Went to the university of Florida as the Attaché/retired army rotc advisor, then was re activated did two tours in gulf two (until the army had enough experienced combat officers to replace him) was released and after a Google search I found out he has made a few published contributions to ft. Benning's "infantry" magazine and I believe the 'freedom fighter' analyzing combat tactics of past battles.
I may have some dates and titles confused but I do know for sure of his primary jobs and of his 'valor' serving. I've sat throughs the story's, and listen to my uncle (the airforce officer who brought my mother's family over from Korea) as he retold them, and again from my mother who wanted to know why he could do all the things he could, and why I wasn't measuring up to the bar.
We were all really proud of all he has accomplished as a officer in the Rangers and in the regular army, and don't let my short comings as a story teller dimish what he has done for us 'over there.'
Quote: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.as a Baltalion commander? No, as a company commander he would have been in direct contact with his men and the chaplains.
Quote: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.
did you seriously think you caught me in a lie just because I confused some minor details? If I were military I could see where thier would be no excuse, but to tell you the truth I did not know the difference between reg army and a green brete till I was in my late twenties.(It never once came up he always refered to himself as a army ranger.)

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

Soldiers from the Army's 1st Infantry in Iraq. As in, front-line infantry. As in, not support specialists, not tankers, not cooks and clerks; infantrymen. Ground pounders. Combat specialists.

Then be pissed.

Wasn't ment to. It simple conveyed the idea that ideologies tend to get silenced when the bullets start to fly.
Do I think people can hate God to their dying breath? Yes absolutly. Is it possible to remain neutral when one's life is threatened, when a gesture of faith (to cover the bases) is offered? If one can it is the exception and not the rule.

It is obvious you know nothing about the military. Chaplains do not come and pray during firefights. That would be suicide since the chaplains are not armed, and their assistants usually only carry a Beretta. Also, Rangers tend to have very specific missions, not fit for chaplain intervention.
Seriously, what fucking movie did your military education come from?
Where are you guys getting this? Where did I say chaplains come out in fire fights?

Coward lying ass piece of shit.
i have four active threads going, which can easily mean 10 posts to answer per thread, and a life outside this forum, which today included processing food for a emergency pantry, putting belts on a washer, and cleaning the house plus a couple of movies to watch..
Just know that me making you wait for an answer to your hate posts is me throwing gasoline on your fire... Or it could just be that I'd haven't got to your post yet. Let logic and reason be your guide on which one it is.

I've never asked you to drop the atonement bit. I've asked you to justify why you deserve it if you prove yourself to be insincere by trying so desperately to avoid thinking you have to live by all of God's laws. You really do desperately want to avoid living by these laws, and I completely understand why. They're terrible and stupid.
But, Jesus makes it very obvious that you are expected to do so, not to earn atonement (seriously, I've never said this, so kindly stop arguing this point I've never tried to make), but to prove that your atonement is sincere. You can't fulfill the law yourself. You can't adhere to it 100%.
But you don't even try. And you teach others that they don't have to try, either. And you can deny neither of these things.
Jesus is very specific on what lies in store for false Christians like you.
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
I read you post, I just wanted to let you know I'll work on it tomorrow. I didn't want you to go all postal because it took more than a few hours to get back with you.
