You, who chose not to enlist because of economic reasons, have contempt for someone who served simply because they weren't combat troops?
Right, fuck off.
I wasn't a combat troop. I was in the rear with the gear where my dumb ass belonged. But firefighting duty is always dangerous, especially on an air base. I've buried a brother firefighter. I have a keen understanding of how dangerous it can be. Was I a hero? Hell, no.
But this childishly naive idea you have that only frontline infantry risk their lives for their country is simply more evidence that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, and you don't know how to shut the fuck up when you're in over your head.
The idea of you being contemptuous of anyone who has sworn the oath is laughable. You've been reading too much Soldier of Fortune.
I'm a Christian in an Atheist forum, at what point in your opinion do you think I am not up to my neck or even orver my head with sharks in the water?
This issue is absolutly no different to me than any other theological issue I have been dealing with here. I am trying to share a view supported by the truth of my life's experience with my military family, and with what they have told me over the years.
It just so happens to be A view that a few of you find offensive and unpopular.. So what? why should I back away? Because one or two of you think I'm full of crap? Again, So what? On any given theological subject everyone thinks I'm full of crap. So how is this any different than anyother subject? How can I keep going in the face of opposition? BECAUSE I SPEAK THE TRUTH, in both instances and I do not fear it or shy away from it.
As Creed has pointed out I MAY not have my facts as staight with military matters as I do with a theological discussion, but so what? I am not a "soldier of fortune subscriber," nor do I live breath and eat military stuff like I do with Christianity. Does it some how mean My family who served didn't?
That I should cower in shame because i can't provide you with an exact bio of their service? Or should i remain silent because one or two of you think my family can't have served this country that way!?!?
F-U two if that is the case!
There are a few of you who dont' think I'm half korean, There are a few who don't think my wife ever had a drug problem, there are a few who don't think I own my own business, a few who don't think I didn't grow up in the church, A few who doubt the health issues I have had/having, a few more who don't think I found God... But, again so what! should I sit in silence everytime one of you can't accept what i have said?
Despite what you all may think, I don't just randomly make crap up. alot of the stuff I've shared here I've shared across the board in the various forums I have been apart of. Why? Because again it is the truth. These are the evidences that in my life (for me) have all help establish who God is, and that God has indeed carried me through the good times as well as the Bad. If my life was as empty of these extremes then I might still be an atheist. But it is not, and I am simply trying to be faith to what I have experienced, and why I believe I have survived/thrived to this point.
Know that If you creed or anyone else doesn't like what I say here then take to heart the 'freedom of speech' you all fought for, also means no one is making you be apart of one of my threads, (or you can hate from the side lines all you like.) Eitherway I will not be intimidated into silence by you creed or anyone else! Because if you really did do what you said you did, then I should be the last one to tell you that others did and gave a whole lot more than either one of us did, just give us the right to have this conversation. and, I will be damned if I will let some douche bag take it from me! So forgive me if i don't yeild to your call to silence because of your doubts about my family or anything else I choose to speak on.

Let's see if you're really a true follower, by Jesus' own standards:
Luke 14:33
Any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple.
Matthew 19:21-24
Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth. Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
Matthews 19: 28-29
Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.
Yes, several times. Each time God gave back 10xtimes what I sowen.
