You're welcome. http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile;u=00018408 But if THAT is what a "combat veteran" brings to this forum, I'll stick with talking to civvies, thank you very much. Seeing the elephant doesn't necessarily make you smarter than anyone else. That guy's posts certainly had a "familiar" construction to them. I think Seanachai picked up on that as well, and maybe that was the reason he so quickly zeroed in on him. The anonymity of a web forum allows people to "be" anything or anyone they choose at the time. Usually phonies are exposed by the ranking members straight away, sometimes they last longer if they are really good liars. Anyway, tolerence of crap posted by new members has reached a new low threshold on this forum, at least I see it that way. I'm glad that guy was thrashed straight off, who needs that anyway. USMC 1965-1969 Combat Engineer (1371) Dominican Republic 1965, Vietnam 1966-67. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WineCape Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 South African paratrooper, 44 Parachute Brigade 1987-1989. Angola was our Vietnam in many ways. Talking about being anyone/anything on the web, there is a persistent rumour going around that I'm related to the actress ~ize Theron, or that I know something about wine. Lies, all damned lies. Charl Theron --------------- CMX2 progresses nicely. All my coding errors caused by drunkenness will of course be entirely your fault, so I hope you can live with yourself. – Charles Moylan, 1 Oct05 [ October 05, 2005, 04:53 AM: Message edited by: WineCape ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WineCape Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 "Rome: Total Reality" is an excellent mod! What grass do you use then? Wifey's big into re-incarnation. Come to think of it, so is most of the Pengers. EDIT 'cause they don't like smileys, wink-eyes or the Forest Gump look-a-like "razz" icon.

KiloIndiaAlpha Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Not sure about Canadian but in english, roughly speaking, it means 'Up close and personal', alluding to the way we 'kicked ass'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Ruddy Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I was a very grumpy Canadian Reserves Radio Technician - the only fighting I did was with my CO or occasionally the grunts & rad ops who found really ingenious ways of buggering up their sets. ("I rested it against the Grizzly - how was I supposed to know it was going to drive over it?" "I dropped it... off a 15 foot cliff." "While setting up base camp I buried it in the snow and lost it for three days... when I found it I tried thawing it out with the coleman stove...") idjits! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Dorosh Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Originally posted by KiloIndiaAlpha: This is almost as good as fishing. No actually in some ways it's better, fish don't always bite but Grog Dorosh ... Bite? Hell, any poster brave enough to profess to a raging crush on me, the way you have, is worth at the very least the 10 seconds of my time it takes to post a response. But once again, you've got the modus operandi all wrong. I hope you're not this daft with girls; instant responses will just get you a "reputation" for being easy. I may need to rethink everything I said about you way back...well, almost 45 minutes ago now. Anyway, not that I hate the attention, but if you can't bring yourself to hate me with the white hot impassioned incredulity I think I deserve, could you at least muster up enough dislike to at least freaking spellcheck your insults? I have a reputation, too, you know. Usually it's only the halfwits who get "anoyed" (sic) by my existence. You need to prove you're better than them! For MY sake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I was draft age back during the Vietnam war. I had a low draft number and... they ended the draft just before they got to me! Whew! Thanks to that I can happily state that I have NOT been dead for the past 35 years, unlike some less fortunate relatives and classmates of mine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my present job I've visited some of the conflict zones the former Soviet Union has offered up, but no one shot at me that I know of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
