And Puke never claimed that every single person in the military was a moron, just that a lot of them are.

Yes “Loser” that is the obvious, I don’t think that anyone here could have missed the flaw in the logic but thanks anyway. Did you happen to notice the flaw in his reasoning? Or was that only obvious to me as I thought it was just as clear as mine was.

Fyron I am not sure what you read, so allow me to cut and paste his words.

Puke said: “3 - not-so-smart enlistees re-enlist, and go on to become officers”

That sounds to me to be the same as:

If you are a carrier soldier (you reenlist) than you are a moron? So what part of that did you miss?
Or maybe this will help:

“4 - future smart generations of enlistees see that only morons have made it through to the top ranks, and leave after their first tour, again leaving only the morons to reinslist”

So lets see, still we have the statement that only morons make a carrier, did you catch it that time?

Don’t patronize me.

unfortuneatly, the military tends to be a vicious cycle of stupididy, much like the vicious circle of poverty, but slightly different. higher ranks are often full of dipsticks...
Well if you look at what he said to begin this, rather than just the fleshed out logic, it would support the statement that not all military officers are morons. As long as you don't take the second post alone and out of context, Puke was not saying that 100% of military officers are morons. Now, he could have worded the second post more consistently, but he didn't.

I was not intentionally patronizing you (Shang). I fail to see how you got a patronizing tone out of my post.

For a while this thread was going really well (giant radioactive roaches- perfect conversational material for a Rubber-Godzilla-fetishist like me) but now ppl are getting angry again and everyone else is settling back with popcorn. This thread is obviously destined to devolve into some kind of cagematch, therefore...

*dogscoff dons his "Dogscoff the Destroyer" mask and cape and leaps into the ring, smashes a chair over Shang's back, elbows Fyron in the face, bodyslams Puke and then turns to flex and chant to the crowd.
