In article , PAMNO (N2EY) writes: We've already seen how you react to others who have served our country in both military and nonmilitary government service. Right...for making lots of brags and claims and implied "combat experience" as in "seven hostile actions." :-) Or those who were "in Vietnam" yet can't be specific about what they did or where. Can't be or won't be, Leonard? Fact is, I did a tour in Viet Nam in the USAF, 1970-1971. You made insulting remarks about it. I can Google some up for you if you like. Or those who "served the country" by being a minor civilian sort for a defense contractor on a USN aircraft carrier. [I tend to dismiss the claims of "taking photographs for naval intelligence" as having any importance] When does a defense contractors work aboard a USN aircraft carrier become a "minor civilian sort". You say it all when you add the parenthetical material. You seem to have difficulty making a statement about someone's work or military service without insulting them. This has long been your method. "Dave" wants his State experiences enobled as wonderful radio acts for the nation or something. When was that ever claimed by me? By the way, Dave is my name. It needs no quotes. "William's" name isn't William. State Department just doesn't have the size or scope to compete with the U.S. military commo facilities. ....or it could just be that needs of the Department of State aren't the same as those of the U.S. military. The DSN has taken over the day-to-day task for that and the U.S. Army Signal Corps has long served State for the vital sensitive communications means (which "Dave" will immediately argue since he is most sensitive to any sort of negativism to "Dave"). Dave will argue because there are no facts to support your silly claim. The U.S. Army Signal Corps not only hasn't "long served State", it plays absolutely no role in providing the U.S. Department of State with communications. Once again, you make a statement of supposed fact with the truth omitted. Do you ever get anything correct? Ooooo...I've "insulted" a member of the USMC? Horrors! Yes, I was unaware that the USMC is hero of the U.S. military and the savior of all wars and is therefore ALLOWED (perhaps encouraged) to insult and demean all other U.S. military service branch veterans. See cute little Yiddish pejoratives such as "Putz" (which means 'penis head'). Steve has never insulted my Air Force service. You have. Brian Burke has. I get the feeling that Steve's pet name for you has nothing to do with the fact that you served in the Army. He insults you, not the Army. You aren't the Army. Tsk. I am "guilty" of an inter-service faux pas according to your veteranism (or veterinarianism or vegetarianism) as a military veteran yourself. I was unaware that standing retreat (a military ceremony at sundown) honoring 23 members of my military battalion was somehow "dishonoring them" (according to the medically-discharged USMC veteran). Mea culpa. You weren't insulted for standing retreat. You were insulted for trying to associate their deaths with your service. The two were not connected except that you later served in the same unit in a different place. Your attempt backfired in much the same way as your "Sphincter post", the one in which you describe how someone feels in battle. The only problem was, you were never in battle. You've neglected to "correct" me on many other things that involved communications that I've experienced since 1956... except some brief mentions on SURPLUS equipment of WW2 era radio. You don't know SINCGARS or the IHFR families which are the mainstay of small-unit operations in today's military...IHFR involves HF spectrum communications and the present-day PRC-104 is part of that IHFR effort since 1986. That's all nice. Thanks for yet another irrelevant restatement of your knowledge of SINCGARS, IHFR and small unit military communications. I never served in a small unit nor do I need SINCGARS or IHFR in my amateur radio operations. Come to think of it, I never needed them in my Department of State communications. Show us your heroism and wonderful deeds that makes YOU so superior you can denigrate those of us who DID serve in the military. Where have I "denigrated" anyone's military or other government service? Myself and Brian Burke by implication if not directly. Further, you've supported or condoned other PCTAs for personally insulting the both of us. All that has been in public view here. You're long on emotion and short on facts, Len. There are any number of things taking place in the world on which you've not commented. By your logic, you must support or condone them. Dave K8MN |
