Many in the US military indeed DO have a limited amount intelligence, so
it would seem appropriate that the terminology used is adapted to this
reality. Slang would just befuddle these would-be torturers. It was best
left out.

Don't look now... but you forgot to put the word 'of' in your first
sentence.

I'm hoping that you are in no way connected with the Canadian Military.

The purpose of the original post was to be of some assistance to those who
monitor the military via the radio.

Then how did you manage to string a few of them together, 'tard?

Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't sure if we HAD a military. Things
haven't been the same since certain corrupt interests managed to scrap
the Avro Arrow project.

Then there was the Bras D'Or hydrofoil fiasco. Then the refitting of the
Bonaventure.

On and On....

Actually, I thought his comments were pretty funny, especially the part
about intelligence. Of course, perhaps you have to be around the military
most of your life, and have worked in military intelligence, to really get
the humor of it. The "would-be torturers" part was a little over the top,
but, since it did happen, that impression is something the military will
have to deal with for some time.

As you've proven with your answer, you can hardly form a sentence
yourself. Attempting to correct someone else when your own grasp of
the English language is severely limited reinforces my opinion that
you are too stupid for words. I repeat,

Don't look now but you are too stupid for words.
