Like the tanks, for example. Did the media get it wrong then?
Huh? ???
If you have some points regarding the tanks, bring 'em on...

GAP said:Well no, USMC is probably not up to your standards, but somehow seem to fumble their way through things in spite of their lack of physical fitness prior to enrolling. Given that I probably wouldn't expect them to go anywhere dangerous, being ewak and all.
ProPatria Mike said:I mentioned tanks only a reference to Teddy'saa comment about the press, The tank issue is related in the sense the press said they were going and the government saying they were not and now they are.... once they order enough spare parts to make em work. snicker.
BTW, I am not arguing with anybody, just stating my opinion.
ProPatria Mike said:Really? I guess the urgent order for parts is just a figment of my imagination. Yawn. No need to get personal, Teddy. BTW, I have yet to see a tank operational in Afghanistan, whats the hold up?
If its not spare parts?
Regardless, the point is, the press it right, regardless of your ever=present paranoia...
Teddy Ruxpin said:I guarantee, 100%, that regarding the tank deployment it is not correct and I'm going by much more than my "paranoia" in making this comment. You're making some rather dangerous assumptions about my knowledge of this matter and I'll leave it at that.
Trinity's right - this hijack's gone on long enough, although the basis of this discussion is Propatria Mike's unquestioning acceptance of what he reads in the press and it's effect on his opinion on recruiting (and apparently, on tank deployments)
2 Cdo said:Curious there ProPatria, after looking through your profile, how many people did you kill in your Cyprus and Bosnia tours as a 'death tech"? The only grunts I have ever seen that refer to themselves that way are recruits and drunk loudmouths!
You also didn't answer the question on where you did your PT test when you joined, I know I did mine in Cornwallis and not a recruiting centre!
You really don't have a clue as to what's happening today either here or overseas, maybe it's time to listen to those that are still serving and not the "press". :
you got a nuke in your pocket? If this is going to be the level of discussion you're going to continue to bring to the table, don't bother.ProPatria Mike said:Why don't we just nuke and bypass?
