Lister, I'd like to call a truce. I don't know what you're mad about or why you want to be rude, but I would really like it to stop. I simply expressed my opinion about the little quotes at the bottom of the file cards in the last several years of Joes before they started the 25th series.
Now, from what I've read from your subsequent posts, you never read the cards to which I'm referring. Troynos has done an excellent job of providing examples of exactly what I was talking about.
If you don't find the military qualifications of the Joes to be interesting, that is fine. I couldn't care less. It doesn't matter to me one bit. And you're free to express what you do find interesting. But is it necessary that every time I simply express my opinion you have to get upset and write sarcastically about how you think my views are rediculous and that I don't represent everyone's opinion?
Of course I don't represent everyone's opinion.
I never claimed to represent anything but my own views.
I speak as a soldier, but not for other soldiers.
I speak as a chaplain, but never for other chaplains.
I speak as a southerner, but never for other southerners...
and certainly not many of the other southerners on this site.
Sometimes I even speak as a Christian, but I've never claimed to speak for any one else's beliefs at all.
I find that I have disagreed from time to time with nearly everyone on this thread. Even with Troynos and Tall Creeper and Loose Cannon and Tank Smasher. From time to time, we all disagree. However, we never ridicule one another. We're never dismissive or sarcastic or attack one another. I greatly value their opinions. They know a lot of stuff and their opinions help me to better form my own opinions.
Lister, you seem like a smart guy to me. I would like to hear what your views are and be respectful in our exchange. This is me honestly and sincerely asking for a Truce. Thanks for your time.
