Bush family political heir is shipping off to war

[Slargos]

According to Marty, only the dregs of society join the military in Europe. In the U.S. the political elites join to pad their resumes.

That's why Europe is vulnerable to a country of 150 million and falling, with a mediocre economy.

Having problems with the flux capacitor, are we?


And yes, only after failing at everything else you join the military.

I don't know how conditions are in Spain, but you certainly can't speak for every country in Europe.

In Sweden, getting into and surviving officer training requires you to be not only intelligent but also personally capable. With many of the new technologies a high degree of education and skill is required above and beyond what is necessary to command troops, run a ship or stick a servo motor on two pieces of scrap metal and call it a robot.

Your disgust of the military is of course no surprise given how you commutards think.

[Razgovory]

And the Swedes have led so many men into battle over these past 100 years.

Its not too late for little Jaron to go off to war.

You are too much of a pussy for that.

[Siege]

That Bush dude joined the Navy Reserve?

Does that really counts?

What does that have to do with anything?

You're making even less sense than usual.

I'd say so. My understanding is that the current military structure intends for reserve units to be activated for duty to fill out the regular forces. So the reserves get a lot more active duty time, especially the more that the regular military is deployed?

It made perfect sense. Of course, it was a purely gratuitous insult, but you should be used to those.

Unlike the US which has terrorist attacks on its soil claiming thousands of lives and the economy in shambles.

He didn't insult me. He didn't add to the thread.

I'm still at a loss as to the point of his post, not to mention his existance.

See, if you read the whole thread before posting this you'd know that I wasn't saying anything about Europe's economy.

Terrorists are a risk to individual lives, but neither our country or yours(which also has terrorist attacks) is going to implode from terrorists. Russia is a threat to Europe. Not as great a threat as 20 years ago, sure, but still a threat. AQ and the Taliban aren't a threat to any Western nation.

Slargos- whether you found it insulting or not, Raz obviously meant it that way.

There is no doubt about that. I maintain that for a statement or act to be labeled an insult, there has to be intent and acceptance.

Only in barbaric third world honour cultures can a statement be an insult when no offense was intended, or when the subject of the purposed slight does not feel insulted.

"Your mother is a whore" for instance, is popular among the coloured segments of Swedish society, but since it in most cases is a clearly false statement, it becomes meaningless.

If I do not become insulted, there is no insult.

Of course, I cannot expect you barbaric and emotion-controlled Americans to understand a concept like this.

So Russia > the US eh?

[Sahib]

It is?

Just to clarify, it's Russia with the mediocre economy, not Europe.

How is Russia a threat to Europe?

They can turn off your gas!

One can only be insulted in one chooses to be.
