I think we both missed tone of voice in our posts.
I was trying to not generalize to all, while trying to complain about what I felt was a generalization to none where there are some.

While trying to convey that DyerWolf's attitude of looking down on everyone non-military is also highly insulting.

It looks like I failed.
That or my defenses were up.

Going back over the thread- I can see where DyerWolf could easily have been misinterpreted.
Likewise- after a LONG PM session with Soylentgreen after tempers flared on a couple sides there as each person read more into what was said than the poster intended, I think he and I understand eachother better now ( I hope.)

Perhaps Soylent can post in better clarity later- But this is just one of those topics that has a passion about it.
Treating civilians like soft weaklings is nonsense.
Treating Military like boneheaded sociapathic killers is nonsense too.

You can smash your computer- demolish your desk eetc.
One bad one on Adult Swim has a guy running around his office suicidal using office machines to grant him freedom in oblivion.
