contrary to popular belief, posting at the Rx is "doing nothing".

Can you really be proud of something of which you had no choice in the matter?

WERE YOU BORN STUPID OR IS IT A GIFT YOU ACQUIRED DURING YOUR LIFE?

MrO,the same point could be made by the anti war faction.

Very thought provoking reply.

judge,
it was the "obvious" reply.

Radio...

Was it possible in the Gulf War for my men to be proud of the job they did......seeing as they had no choice but to fight?

Guest · Mar 29, 2003

Dirk,of course.

radiofreecostarica · Mar 29, 2003

sure. but it WAS their choice. How was it not their choice?

DirkDigAlert · Mar 29, 2003

The choice to fight or not to fight?

The reality was they had no choice in that matter

The moment you enter a US recruitment office you've made your choice.
Period.

Dirk,also they did something besides talk,which I always admire.

My point was that you cannot truly be proud of gender, nationality, etc. These things are no choice of our own. They differ from things that should make us proud, success, accomplishment, happiness, etc.
