As a combat veteran was your war fought on pure logic? Was it not drilled into you to reach for raw emotion in order to complete missions? What combat have you seen? Do you go back to Vietnam?
Nope, I'm an OIF and OEF veteran. And no - we don't reach for "raw emotion". We train, and we train hard. And yes, fighting in combat is more logic than emotion. Before you even leave the gate, you've done 2-3 hours of prep that day. You systematically check your weapons, your equipment, your vehicles, and your "buddies" - because there's no way in hell you want to put yourself in harm's way if you haven't logically and systematically eliminated any possible thing that might trip you up. Training is also methodical and logical - because you absolutely MUST be able to draw from your training once things start blowing up. You logically and methodically train yourself to encounter fear, panic, anger, sadness - you name it - so that when things start blowing up you can push them aside and do your job.
In order to complete missions, you must methodically and logically PLAN those missions. Who is the enemy? Where was he yesterday and what did he do? What route am I going to take? What are my ROE? What's the weather going to be like? What do I need to take with me? Who am I taking with me? And on, and on, and on. If your only "combat exposure" comes from Hollywood, then I can see where you might think "raw emotion" is what we draw from. That statement is VERY far from the truth.
That's the difference between a professional fighting force and a bunch of terrorists.

You've reached the ripe old age where you forget to snag breakfast... Drink some Gatorade for electrolytes. Something ain't firing right. By your own statement: Radical Socialist.

You paint broad strokes of a dead man first off. Secondly, you're labeling based off rival input now that you'd have us believe your views are to be held entirely separate. You continue to take poetry published under the 'International Socialist Review' as further proof of the man's motives in life.

How is your source any different from JP Morgan trash talking Nikola Tesla? You must realize opinions are as numerous as aholes, so again... Let's put things in proper context.
A good portion of my writing is found on Above Top Secret. Your opinion of ATS? I'm sure there's a few labels to choose from. Focus and you'll draw from the inference.
The poem I refer to speaks volumes of God. Upon closer inspection you'll find Universal Principles embedded. His choice of words are both subtle and exacting.
And this...
Social media sites and video games weren't prevalent in the early 1900's.
You wasted an entire paragraph on blatant sarcasm then challenged my intellect inside the joke you didn't catch. Further proof you don't have your wits about you. I have to stop and ask... What is your malfunction?
Light in the pants evolved into... No balls. Even with your limited perception the parallel shouldn't go unnoticed.

Why don't you just come out and say it that you like it missionary.
aren't you tired of making false, unfounded, ridiculous assumptions yet?
either way, IF only you knew ... but, that's an adult and a personal conversation ... sorry, but you would have to leave the room
Again, I was being facetious... I was also hoping the photo of Betty White might narrow it down for you. I don't require a personal conversation. I'm no where near a rotary phone anyhow.

Thats my whole feel of this The people are barkng up the wrong street. What are they trying to do take the money back from the bank. The bank figured out a way to steal this money legally. There is the catch legally! This protest movement that have you needds to be movedd about 500 miles south. This whole thing should be directed atnd based in Washington D.C. Where any selfrespecting nationwide movement should be based. The Government is at fault. We need wallstreet and the banks good or bad we need these systems. The law can be fought. These protesters need to reorganize head to washington when congress and the house are in session (The whole session) and get in there on a daily basis and change the law. They have proven they have the people who are willing to and have the time to do this for the rest of the American people who cant.

NO, you were being rude, nasty and as vile as you could get away with ... too bad you don't have any real weapons ... i mean, wit in your arsenal ... you might be dangerous.
good, cause i'm relatively sure you wouldn't know where to put your fingers if you did.

This is an example of a person, with a total irrational view of thinking. You can't accomplish this, not in a million years ... and because you have no way of focusing what you want, and what you need ... you become the tool of your enemies, and make BAD things for the rest of us.
What WE NEED, is turn the tide of the past 12 years ... and return some of the freedoms and jobs, that were outsourced and taken away.
Only through the freedoms, can you ever hope to accomplish anything of significant value ... without those freedoms, you are and always will be a slave. You are basically saying to everyone, you want to be a camelriding nomad in the desert, and basically you can buy yourself a CAMEL and go ride in the desert, you have no right to take the rest of us with you ... and NOBODY will support you, except drunkards and junkies, who don't really know what they want anyway. So, because you don't know what you are saying ... somebody takes over ... and you are screwed and the rest of us are screwed.
Next time, think this through ...

Maybe he isn't rich, maybe like me, he is just an average person that believes steal things people have worked for and EARNED is wrong.....
Who is doing the deciding what is a fair piece of pie? The ones who have no life experience??
Seems pretty unfair to me
