I keep reading how bloodthirsty killers.
Can anyone tell me how many of them we have killed versus how many of us they have killed, say in the last 50 years?
Was it me that missed you on that last op I was on?
Maybe my sights were a bit off from that last explosion, but it was likely I was shooting on the run towards you and you ducked at the right time
Hard to be really accurate at night when your heart is pumping and you are breathing hard - I always had to work on that one.
I will try harder next time - I promise! LOL
I am just grumpy - or maybe you are just a schitte disturber - or maybe it is an honest question - I will simply answer as a person who has both given and received - like the many honourable men and women on this board who have also worn a uniform.
Maybe you should ask "Who plans to cause as little collateral bloodshed or damage as possible when they are on an operation (even at the risk or their own lives in many cases) and who just does not give a schitte and kills everything in the name of allah?"
Yeah, things do not always go as planned - but collateral deaths are not welcomed, not celebrated and minimized to the greatest extent possible
Or better - "Who clears every op through the JAG (military lawyers) before launching?"
Or this one - "Who does triage after battle and puts their enemy higher on the medical treatment list because he is more seriously wounded?"
And finally - "Who intentionally kills little Pakistani girls for simply wanting to go to school?"
What the heck - maybe you need to go find out for yourself!
In fact I dare you - but somehow I think you would never do that.
Some folks from near here were visiting in the Towers when they went down - I am in agreement - Slam frigging Dunk!
I am sure you got the reaction you were looking for - I wish you were not looking for a reaction and that you were instead - a person of honour - at the moment I am not so sure you are.
While that may not bother you, in my opinion, it should.
I will go away now and listen to the cows sing - the last of the calves left tonight - and I think the mommies are missing them. But the cash was nice! So I can honestly say I am enjoying the music. LOL
Oh, and have a nice day.

Quick edit addition after seeing OT has weighed in:
OT - I do my best to avoid you at almost all costs.
I do not particularly like you and your answers or your comments.
I admit I am not always happy with the way people treat you.
However your middle east expert was a phony lefty who only saw one side of the argument and used her couple of short visits to the safest parts of the Middle East as justification to pontificate.
Your politics are truly out to lunch for an American rancher in my opinion.
And for sure your answer to the original poster is well and truly out to lunch
I will refrain from my personal opinions simply because you are older than me and I was taught to not smart mouth my elders.
I will continue to minimize any contact with you in the future as well.
I hope you too have a nice day.
