Just out of curiousity...what EXPERIENCE do you have working/flying
the
A-10? Or do you just quote from Janes and/or CNN.

USAF, Retired

Brooks never flew anything. He never fired a shot in anger or saw an
enemy.
Take that into consideration.

But I did not have to be threatened with the draft in order to volunteer
for
the service I have provided, unlike you. Nor did I volunteer during a
period
where had I failed to I would have been labled a shirker, as was the case
when you served; quite the opposite, I actually was sworn in during a
time
when being in the military was not quite as well thought of as it is now.
Nor am I compelled to make up things in a vain effort to make myself feel
important, like you habitually do. Finally, I address the queries raised
to
me, unlike you. So just what the heck are you so proud of, Art?

Brooks




All the fun and games I was having at 10,000 feet over Germany.

So you say. Based upon the lack of persoanl integrity you have demonstrated
thus far, it is kind of hard to know how much of your "exploits" are real
and how much is your imagination in overdrive. You see, that is the problem
when you start lying--after you get caught in them, nobody knows which
further statements of yours are fact and which are fiction.

And also
attending funerals of friends many of whom still lie in foreign soil

One wonders why you continue to sneer at my one and only example of having
served on duty in Ohio (which for some reason you are fascinated with, can't
figure out why), where we performed a similar military funeral.

Never saw
you there coward.

Oh, gee, maybe that was because I was not born until a bit over fifteen
years AFTER the war was over? Your rants are growing more pathetic...

How was the flak behind a desk in Ohio?

Again (and I realize that your mind may not be what it once was), I never
served behind a desk in Ohio, OK? Simple concept--even you should be able to
grasp it with enough effort. Again, what is this fixation you have with
Ohio? Did some airman from Ohio knock you on your keister when you gave him
some of your oh-so-mean 19 year old butter-bar lip? Is that why you are
always drawn back to trying to connect someone who has the temerity to
disagree with you, or to call you on your repeated false statements, with
the Buckeye State?

You could have
volunteered for a combat unit.

I did not have to. My first active duty assignment was to a combat unit (the
19th Engineer battalion (Combat) (Corps) (Wheeled); Company B to be
exact--ran into my old CO years later when he evaluated our unit during a
training exercise). Finished that one up and moved to a construction unit.
Then to a bridge construction unit. Etc. etc. Weren't you the guy who
claimed folks in the military had to do what and go where they are told?

How come you never did coward?

Being as I did serve in a couple of combat units, that is an irrational
statement.

You are the
bottom of he barrel of the military.

You are entitled to your opinion. But that does not change the fact that you
remain a proven liar.

So you claim but you have proven nothing. And those of us who went into harms
way for our country have nothing to answer for ever. But you who never
volunteered for any combat duty have everything to answer for. Coward.
