At Least 22 Veterans Kill Themselves Every Day and No One Gives a Shit

Bah!  That was just a lucky guess!

It is almost as though DGuller speaks wisely on statistics.

Army wives of deployed soldiers are notorious cheaters. Suicide fits the Army Code better than murdering her.

Army stronk?

[Zanza]

Happens after every war.  What is there to do about it?

Don't fight useless wars like Iraq, Afghanistan or Vietnam?

[DGuller]

This is a thread about our hero veterans being abandoned, not a DGuller roast thread.  Have you people got no shame?

Yeah it's outrageous.   




It deserves a  separate thread.

How to keep a secret

I forgot.

[DGuller]

  That's a bit low, Dorsey.  Every secret has an implicit out clause, where your commitment to not divulge it is superseded by other considerations, and where the conditions under which you made the commitment change radically.  Divulging a secret to someone shouldn't make them a permanent accomplice to all your future deception.  I think I kept you secret for long enough for everyone else to stop caring about it, and then some.

Yeah once all the WWII veterans are dead and no one still remembers the Holocaust I'll listen to a member of history's most evil race when it comes to what wars we should or shouldn't fight.

Well this secret didn't have that implicit out clause, as I clearly implied. 

Also, I don't know that conditions ever really changed all that much; I just kept the thing going for 9 years. And I think some people did care. See my sig, garbon doesn't like me now.

Lettow was able to keep the secret. I didn't tell him I was Dorsey, but he knew things were not on the up and up when we met.

Dude, you got into the Back Room under false identity, clearly a significant development on the conditions that existed 8 years ago.  I made no promise to passively facilitate your infiltration of a private forum.  If you don't see how me maintaining your secret would violate the trust of a whole bunch of other people, then there is really nothing that I can say.

Every secret has a scope.  If I were testifying in court under oath, and a question came up about the true identity of alfred russel, I would probably not keep your secret either in that situation.  I think I have a pretty long track record of keeping your secret when it's being kept within the scope, Lettow didn't know your identity for 7 years.

Dude is fighting some serious inner demons here. I'm impressed that he manages to switch accounts for the replies.
