In all my years in the Corps, achieving the rank of SSgt and later Major, I never met an enlisted man or officer with an extensive enough circle of Colonel acquaintances to make such a sweeping evaluation. Were any of the Medal of Honor winners in the representative but by no means exhaustive list below among your circle?
You are an ignorant, pompous POS and a public apology is required.

Thank you for your service.
Since Paulie seems to be sleeping I'll handle this.
Whoa.
Take it to PM. No need for this idiocy.
impersonating military or law enforcement is wrong. its on the same line of fund raising for self profit in the wake of a tragedy.![]()
I finally put him on ignore this morning.
Solid Jets related thread. Keep up the good work.
go eat some pubes, Major.
agree completely
Colonel Forbin admitted to being a fraud anyhow so as far as I am concerned this discussion is concluded
This thread needs Sherman Plunkett, so I'll stick it in the dump until he gets here.
That is your opinion McGinley and why did you NOT chose to use it but instead chose to reply here so we all could see your alleged brilliance?
I enjoyed reading the man's response to the one trick pony named sg3.Yes we know the man hates Tebow. He has only told us a million times and will forever but that is his right!
I salute the Jetsneednewton for his service to our country and I wish to tell the advocates of censorship to bug off! That is why guys fight to protect our freedom of speech even sg3's! ( unfortunately)
How about my service to my country moron??
Vietnam...I know...long time ago
Way back before showing patriotism became 20s aged able bodied young men standing and waving their budweisers at sporting events shouting USA...
BTW I salute Newton too and thank him for his service
