Respect to Kennedy and all the vets.

Even if he is milking it ( Which I dont think he is), he's earned the right to. Green Berets are tough as hell.

If you have never served than it's hard to explain so you will understand. That said many who have spent time in the war zone can have a hard time getting into society, and want to go back. Life seems much simpler and confortable for them. Just being a Green Beret is special as other elite sevices are. So if he wants to use it for attention or truly go back I feel he earned the right to do so and honor it. RET USARMY Military Police Corps.

I'll bet he's back in active service within the next 24 months.

So what your saying is since he's tasted battle it's hard to go back to a life without "conflict", essentially, his "blood lust" draws him back to it. To me a soldier is a soldier, the dog of the military. I have more respect for the strategist.

I think what he's saying is that you haven't got the faintest clue of what you're talking about, and are just trolling with a very transparent agenda.




Actually, it wasn't him saying that, it was you, at least to anyone who can read between the lines.

is it possible to respect ANY soldier's bravery without respecting what they actually do over there? because when "over there" becomes "over here" war becomes real for even the most politically correct flagwavers.

lets not put optimus in a corner, i think he might be 50% percent right, and now he cant go back even if he wanted to cause youve offended him.

its okay to miss your real buddies when you cant get a steady injection of action in Strikeforce and keep collecting losses. that green beret will go back to work if he loses his upcoming title shot. if he says he misses it, i believe the guy, its genuine. if by some chance he's proud of his military tenure and mentions it even milks it im okay with that too, for now.

That is your choice, but this man is a legitimate bad mothafucker. Most people run from bullets. He runs towards them. My guess is he will really do it again (run towards bullets that is).

Why would you agree Kennedy is milking his former service and then attack him for it?

The highlighted section We've offended him. He goes and offends anybody who has served and were not to offend him. Most of your post was decent, but part of it I think you were drinking the kool aid.
