To a war memorial to spout anti-war allegations of soldiers mistreating civilians and all that other nonsense that these people say? Freedom of speech is out there, but there's a time and a place for everything. Basic etiquette and all that.

    No, didn't think so... This is a tribute thread to the armed forces. The point of the thread is for those of us who are proud of our nation's forces to say so and identify other like-minded individuals. The hate messages serve no purpose and are generally going to be considered as rather impolite. I'm going to be hated for this, but I'm used to it. *shrugs*

    teh defiance general discussion forum, ie a forum to talk about a game, is not a funeral or a war memorial.

    it's also not your own personal fb feed.


    this thread reminds me of a fb friend that kept spamming wingnut junk, then started invited me to wingnut events.

    And your point is? Where in my posts have *I* been "disrespectful" or where is this so-called "hate-message"? Please elaborate.

    What you guys have to realise is, that there are just as many ppl outthere who are AGAINST war and weapons. Just because they are saying their oppinions, doesn't mean they are being disrespectful. I would rather say that it is disrespectful, when you guys begin trash-talking ppl who are against war/weapons/armed forces.

    To compare saying that this thread is in off-topic and that we hear alot of this already on FB, with "piss on their grave" - well, that is just way out of proportions.

    And I say as many others: this thread belongs in the off-topic.

    Unfortunately a thread like this will always attract...'attention' shall we say.
    I may not like some of the replies,or the lack of basic forum manners, but we do live in mostly democratic countries, so people can and will say what they want..from the fair,to the misguided,the ignorant and the troll.
    Just be happy you CAN say what you want...not everyone in the world can.
    And the price for that freedom you enjoy doesnt come cheaply or easily.

    Just worth thinking about...

    You really should have spent some time in the service. You would have grown up a lot, instead you are just an annoying troll, it's unfortunate.

    Thank you to the OP and every other veteran who did more than "seriously consider" fighting for their country.

    This is not Socio-Political chat in anyway. Get over yourself.

    1. He did not name any specific country
    2. He never said "war is good, we are right, they are wrong"
    3. He didn't in anyway try to celebrate of glamorize war against any specific country

    All he did was show appreciation for a group of people with more courage and integrity than you have.

    it has nothing to do with the game. general chat is only for game related topics.

    there is an off topic forum for just this thread. that is where it should be.

    and don't kid yourself. every discussion today is politicized.

    I just look at anti-war protests and facepalm. Global peace and no more war is like communism in that it's a nice concept that will never work. As long as people have different viewpoints, there will be conflict; as long as different cultures exist, there will be global conflict. I'm not going to start spouting intolerant nonsense, I became far too jaded and cynical to really care about the opinions of other people on matters that are of zero consequence to my own life, just in the same way that I don't expect people to give a damn about my opinions. Funnily enough, people do and I have no idea why. They're just my opinions, mere words.

    Inb4 "shut up, stupid redneck." I'm Chinese, my family basically had to live apart for years because of the Cold War and Chairman Mao's dictatorship. I'm anything but a redneck. I won't post any more in this thread. I've posted my support for the troops, as well as my opinions on the surrounding material that has generated here so there's nothing more worth staying for.

    Wow all the long wordy attempts at trolling and bad humor and THAT was all you could up with? You didn't even try on that one. Back it up tiger, support your position. Do you have a basis for your random assinine judgment?

    I said you should spend time in the service so you would mature. Accurate
    I said you are nothing more than an attention hungry pre-teen troll. Accurate (could be off on age by 1-3 years)
    I thanked the OP and others which was my personal opinion and therefore...accurate.

    Sorry I don't see anything in my post that would support your delusional statement. Take a deep breath, I will give you a moment to try again.

    FYI: Using "Bro" instantly invalidates anything you say. Start by using entire words and preferably with a capital letter at the beginning of your statement.

    i'm not being negative nor flaming. i stated a fact - this thread does not belong in this forum.

    i at no time said the thread should not exist, just that it is in the wrong place. i didn't have to read the other pages to come to that conclusion.

    and btw two posts above this one is a post talking about a political opinion. just an FYI

    really? is my board name ichinglish? did he quote me when he typed out his post?

    the heated nature of political issues is exactly why these topics are not allowed outside of teh off-topic forum.

    On my 6th year, US Army 89B Ammunition Specialist. Nothing fancy since the wife didn't like the idea of going head first into a warzone.

    technically they have no constitutional rights on this forum beyond just being able to access it from their paid service provider. it's private domain.

    i tried to join the navy in 1993 when i graduated high school. at 5'8" 200 lbs of pure varsity football muscle i was not allowed due to asthma, severe environmental allergies and an unacceptable astigmatism.

    was a different time then though. i don't think that kinda stuff matters so much anymore. my grandfather was bummed to be sure, he was a ww2 navy vet, but at least one of my cousins was able to avoid allergy/asthma genes and he's still i the navy today.
