And by the way...it wasnt an "Army" tanker, its was a "Marine" tanker!

Either way...once again...You have just gone to far in my eyes...

What upset me the most is that the U.S army does not have the balls to admit to the mistake and instead just makes up a lie.

The US military doesnt have balls!?!? How many wars have we won? How many lives have been lost to protect this nation? The military has seen more horrible sights then you can ever hope to never know, so if you think for 1 minute that the US military doesnt have the honor, the respect, the courage and BALLS to admit when they are wrong...you are sadly mistaken...If that soldier says he was being fired...he will damn sure get the benefit of the doubt, because he has earned it.

Try and remember this for me please..
It is the soldier, not the reporter who gives you freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet who gives you the freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer who allows you to demonstrate.
It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves the flag,
and whose coffin is draped with the flag that allows protesters to burn the flag!!!

I think this is more than relevant. Jack, as you said previously, not everything is black and white.

Jack, I'm really having to hold back on that one, man. You should respect others for their patriotism for their own country, not throw up your hand at it as if its an annoyance. That's insulting.

I'm closing this thread.
