IN WHAT WAY???

Oooooooooooooooooohhhh...Mike got Lennie MAD! ! ! !

It does appear that way, Steve.

But he did post:

*** Now, one last time, how do you "serve" your country in those "other
*** ways" you claim? Neither you nor the Nun of the Above have answered
*** that question challenge on your respective claims...

Lennie has a twisted sense of what "service" means.

In his mind, one brief tour in the Army was all the "service" one need do.
The facts are that there are THOUSANDS of ways one may be of "service" to this
Nation, not all of which include donning the uniform of the Armed Forces.
Indeed, not every person should or could be a capable member of the Armed
Forces, yet they can "serve" in any of those other capacities in grand style.

Funny how NO ONE ever claims ANY "territorial imperitive feelings"
EXCEPT
Lennie...the foregoing attempt to redirect you on what HE (Lennie)
perceives
the SOLE topic of this NG is supposed to be.

Maybe he meant tutorial imperitive?

Who knows, but one thing I have found to be true over the years is that

if a person has certain goals and wants to hide their motives, the fist
step is to accuse others of having those same goals.

I really do think he would be happy to have his own Morse code oriented

newsgroup with him as the moderator. Maybe.

Of course he would! And the rules would be simple...First, any discusson
or depiction of persons who use, favor the use of or support the use of Morse
Code MUST be depicted as knuckle dragging luddites.

Secondly, anyone with less than 14 years of night school to accomplish
what any other person can accomplish in a 2 year community college will be
dismissed as wannabes, only peripherally interested in radio communication.

And lastly, anyone who uses the word "service" in ANY capacity other than
that of a one-term Army radio mechanic has NO idea of what they are talking
about, and such "talk" is merely the "rantings of a person wrapped in patriotic
bunting"...

THAT way, EVERY "discussion" would validate his every word as the ONLY
word in radio communication, thereby making him the only "authority" in radio
communication...Kinda the way he already perceives himself but without the
adulation he thinks he so richly deserves.

Pity the "radio professional" whose sole access to hobby radio is
dependent upon Part's 15 and 95.

Its a tangled web for sure.

Actually, I was kinda pitying the old guy for being so narrow minded and
not having the initiative and motivation to accomplish what he might otherwise
be so capable of doing.

Here's to a happy and fun holiday season to you and the rest of the
Robeson family.

And to You and Yours, Sir, a very safe and fulfilling holiday!

I'm not so sure about that.

"""In his mind, one brief tour in the Army was all the "service" one

To be fair, it is far, far, far more than what the vast majority give.
They don't mind taking Pell Grants, guaranteed student loans, etc, and
complaining about the rising costs of education, but to put someone
else before themselves, "Forget it!" Then want their degree, their
401k, and to hell with anyone else or delaying their education for 4
years.

I actually heard an NPR reporter laugh yesterday when he opened a story
about Rumsfeld and the problem the Army is having with recruiting.
Your tax dollars at work.

That's debatable. And don't get me started on the "Americorps"
program.

Well, I worked for 2 years at a defense contractor on
flight simulators for training air force pilots after
graduating college. Does that count?.....

Bob, sounds like a huge sacrifice having to put up with AF pilots.

I didn't have to make *that* sacrifice. So I guess I
got off with easy duty..... Other people dealt with
the pilots, I just designed the equipment.
