Guy_Fawkes Guy_Fawkes: The same could be said about any post on this forum, what is your point?  Reread. Maybe you'll get it.

Guy_Fawkes Guy_Fawkes: Acting like a child is handing back something to get a response from someone. It's your stereotypical drama play (ie The wedding is over! [fiance throws the engagement ring] ) You do know his medal was for a tour as an EME in Bosnia 2001... not really a shitty job during a shitty period of time, for Bosnia at least. It really doesnt matter, the public doesnt care much about vets except on Nov 11. We hear a lot about the people dying in Afghanistan but never about the injured. Also you can quit with the ignorant civi stuff, that's at best an easy dodge and at worst an ad hominem. The problem is you sound like an ignorant civi and one who doesn't have the first damn clue what he's talking about. What do you know of Bosnia except for media releases. Do you have any idea of how watered down and pretty they are made?

I guess I should just shut up and not speak ill of ex-CF members, or anything military for that fact, it is verboten.

By 95 it was pretty laid back, since things had all but settled down. In 2001 it was just a peacekeeping tour where you could sit drink coffee and have Slivovich shooters.

But hey you are all quite content that my opinion means nothing... so it really doesnt matter what I do know and dont know. You have decided that since Im not a vet I shouldnt voice my opinion.

Pretty damn sad that no matter who's in charge of the government that Veteran Affairs/etc., always manages to screw over ex-servicemembers.

OMFG "just a peace keeping tour" . I had a friend who was "just on a peace keeping tour" he's had nightmares for years over it. That's just the part he IS ALLOWED to tell you. What I'm trying to tell you is take what you think you know, subtract 99% of that, that as a civi is what you know.

You have decided that since Im not a vet I shouldnt voice my opinion. Now your just whining, stop it, your an adult! Your entitled to an opinion but if it's an ignorant one chances are you will be called on it.

Your entitled to an opinion but if it's an ignorant one chances are you will be called on it. You two are the ones dismissing my opinion on the permise that just because Im not the CF my point of view is wrong. What if my some sort of magic I was in the military would that make my points suddenly valid?

Then I'd just be calling you an asshole. *now I must go to bed before Spr gives me the evil eye warning guy*

Good thing you have a wonderful counter argument, otherwise you would just look like a military groupie, who feels that a soldier can do no wrong once he has a medal.
