Best thing to do is look at his past posts. Don't have to read them all, of course, but you should find enough about him.

I don't know if you are joking or not, but the "Real Warriors" are the ones that try and make it into ANY special operations pipeline. That is some @%#* they all have to go through to help protect this country. Hopefully after college I can either get into Recon or PJs, and I know I would not appreciate such a comment. I have less than a year to decide which ROTC I want to do though =/

Are you saying that those that are not in spec ops are not "real warriors?"

Had you read just four posts above yours, you would have seen:

Before you respond, think about what you said and how it would sound from another perspective. "The 'real warriors' are the ones who try and make it into any special operations pipeline." There are a great many warriors in this country's past and present who have never spent a day in special operations. Real warriors who fought through places like Fallujah, the Karbala Gap, the Shah-e-Kot Valley, Sadr City and al Dora. Men and women who gave the last full measure of devotion to their fellow warfighters. They are no less deserving of the title "real warrior" than those who have found a home in special operations. So before you get so wound up at a perceived slight to your chosen brand of special operations, remember that your own opinions could be seen in that same unflattering light by those who made great sacrifices for their country outside special operations and earned the title "real warrior" with their sweat and bloodshed.

Had you read just two posts above yours, you would have seen this mature and thought-out response, which addresses the accusation you just made:

I totally agree with you and realized my mistake when stating special operations as "real warriors" when not putting that title to everyone who has served. Just last Saturday I was talking with a Chosin reservoir survivor in Quantico MCX Barbershop. I also apologize for my previous posts so feel free to ignore them.

To hornetguy, I apologize that I did not go and check his background, but if you can send me a link to it. I would love to read it. I tried finding it in the Introduction section, but he did not include his background.

Thank you
