My ideal military strikes again!

So ... OK ... that WAS kind of funny

I try to be funny at times. I thank you for your encouragement.

The "this" I was referring to was the woman of the story. You don't know how to truly empathize with her and it shows. That comes with experience. You try to give it this big rambo-izing. She's a person, Vince. That's what I'm saying.

I cant empathize with her at all, becuse I have never been in that situation. Most people on this planet haven't. And she is a person, a very brave person who when it came time to put up or shut up, she put up until the gun went *click*. That takes courage and guts, and I bet she was fetal-position crying afraid. But she bucked up and did what she needed to do. That is all I ask of people who serve and all I would ask of people like myself. Be like this brave woman, not the little mama's boy in San Francisco.

Yeah, well I used to go deer hunting a lot as a teenager. Trust me, it's different. Funny, I don't like to pick up weapons or hunt anymore. It's not that I've become some big syrupy liberal or anything. I just take it a lot more seriously than I used to. Somehow I imagine you playing paintball on the weekends with your buddies. Trust me, though. I still know how to use a weapon but you can bet that if I pick up a weapon I won't be "playing war" and it won't be paint. That's the difference.

I've went deer hunting, but that is totally different. I don't want to shoot anyone or anything unless I have to. But believe you me that if my family, country, friends, co-workers, fellow citizens, God, whoever is threatened, that person that is doing something against them won't live. And I don't like paintball. If I am going to point a firearm at someone, it's going to be for real and its going to be to injure them or to exit their soul from their body. I don't mess around with weapons. They are used to destroy and kill. Not to play around with.
