When are you going to join the rest of us in the year 2007? the statement that AQI is tied to AQ in Afghanistan is absolutely true... in the year 2007!

So he's not lying at all.
Would I be lying right now (July 26/07) if I were to say "Listen kiddo, son,....right now your making some very nice coinage with the continuing of this war, just like Nebo? your profiting while soldiers and civilians are dieing"?
you'd be lying.

I make a modest wage as a DoD consultant - less than six figures. When I go overseas in the service, I actually take a paycut. I also made a decent wage before the war. In fact, my civilian salary has only increased about 20% in nine years. (that's < 3% increase per year). Heck, I spend a good chunk of my money driving my pickup truck 102 miles - to work and back - every day.

My wife makes half of what I make. We live in Northern VA where the money does not go very far at all. We live in small townhouse that I just bought (my first house), and we have rooms that have no furniture in them at all!

The funny thing is, with my experience, degrees, and background, I'd probably make at least twice as much working in the private sector doing information security work or business intelligence. I could probably ask for $200k at any bank or Fortune 100 company in North America! Heck, i've been offered that much and turned it down!

I've also turned down many lucrative contracting opportunities in Iraq and Afghanistan. When I've gone over, I've done so as a soldier. I do what i do because i believe in the missions and I'm proud of my role in the WOT. It's a job that needs doing.

So what was your point again? Oh ya... you were lying.

I understand in your off time that you're also a robot ninja warrior.....
shhh... that was our secret damnit! 😀

If so then you have been involved too.

I'd salute you both but i think you're both full of shit.

lol John
ok , I don't know for a fact. But I'm 99.9% sure because following a thread back a couple of years ago. I seen a picture of him in Afghanistan in an Infantry uniform on a lets say major site.
I could go on but I think palehorse could prove it if he wanted too
So ya, I'm convinced anyway

I haven't been involved in either Afghanistan (other then doing what I could to talk my son out of joining up, after spending a life time telling him he should) and I'm pretty much against the illegal invasion of Iraq 😉

You did the wrong thing talking your son out of going to Afghanistan, my brother in arms, it was needed and he would have been ok, of course that is not my decision to make, it's yours. Take no offense, there is none intended.

I don't buy his BS for one second though.

You're not an army man though, Navy? Some time ago? I'm not American so i won't thank you for your service but i will salute anyone who believed in his mission.

Palehorse will have to show me that picture himself for me to belive him, and something to show it is him.

It doesn't really matter though, be well.

Yeah i know, you just play the guy who pretends to be involved so you don't have to take responsibility for your war mongering opinions. And it's your duty and it's the plan and so on and so forth.

Don't you ever get tired of your own lies you sick little shit?

Post the pic he's talking about and tell us where it is from, but be truthful or il'll call you on it.

I don't believe a word you say.

Oh, and my name isn't John.

And you should keep questioning it 😀

Would a picture of me in the '70's wearing my cadet uniform prove anything ? lol

I'm not an American either, I'm Canadian 😉

And :cookie: for the OP for being able to count words.
