Tsk, you were trying to insult me, not Hans.
I wasn't *trying* to insult anyone, Len.
I wonder what you would have said if you were actually "trying?"

Equating military service with welfare is about all I can take.
I'm not "taking" any of it.

Jimmie can go over to his nearest military recruitment station
and repeat his "subsidy" crack to any military person in there.

After that, the "fourth morseketeer" would be absent from RRAP.

I disagree.

I think your average service person knows that their is a large segment
of US society that looks down on them. But they are intelligent enough
to know just how wrong that segment of society is.
You're weaving another marvelous tale out of whole cloth. Who is it you
believe to be looking down on military service members, Brian?

The servicemen and
women stand guard without thought to their popularity.

I stood guard in basic training. I was too busy working or sleeping to
stand guard during the remainder of my four years. I never entered any
popularity contests.

And so you think very little of your military service.

Where did I write that I think little of my military service? I wrote
that I only stood guard in basic training and that never entered any
popularity contests. Are you busy trying to read between the lines again?

You wrote that you got out of the service because they wouldn't let you
play hobby radio in vietnam.

Now you write that you were too busy to stand guard except during basic
training. Somebody else would have to do it.

Welp, at least
you served.

I don't recall asking for the Brian Burke stamp of approval--or needing it.

And why would you? According to you, you've led a perfect life.

In other words, Jim would be perfectly safe in any recruiter's office,
though his visit might be short. Unless he wound up in Robesin's dads
recruiter office...

I noted Len's silly threat, made on behalf of others. You know and I
know and even Len knows that such a thing would never happen.
Lamebrains are not chosen as recruiters. Any recruiter who acted in
such a manner would not only not be a recruiter for very long, he'd be
in the slammer. All that is beside the point.

I guess you didn't hear about the recruiting scandal where some
recruiters were accepting personal favors for recruiting hookers.

What happened to them? Are they still recruiters?

Jim hasn't made any
disparaging remarks directed at the military and I doubt he spends a lot
of time in or near recruiting offices. We've just been treated to more
of Len's (not very ably assisted by you) diversionary mumbo-jumbo.

I guess 6M has closed to France?

...and that makes recruiters touchy?

Makes Dave, the World's Greatest DXer, touchy for having worked out of
band Frenchmen on 6M.
