I've never been shot, but come close. About 3 inches away. But I'm all too familiar with the rage.
No one else here would understand because it's a primal instinct encoded in our DNA that's not experienced by most due to the comforts society provides. What they don't understand is it was this same instinct that has allowed us to be here today.

Personally I'm loving the hypocrisy of the "death to America" crowd.
Yeah...I love that too! LOL! Most of these people have no idea what it is to serve. As I have said...I am "Civilian" but on one job...I was shot in the chest...and I thought I was going to die. Before the shock set in I asked one of the SF guy's to hand me back my rifle so I could be the one to kill the SOB that shot me. After...the pain sets in and it hurt like hell.
I have said this before but I will tell you because maybe you will understand....your life does not flash before your eyes...I was watching the guy who shot me and he pulled a weapon and I could tell he was pulling the trigger...the only thing to come to mind at this supposed life moment was the words...OH S#!%! Thats it! Then an anger I have never before obtained and haven't since.
I am a very calm guy by nature and because of my physical stature 6 ft 1 in. and muscular...I have been challenged in many a club by someone who wants to fight. I can usually talk them out of it and know that if I have to fight...even if they start it...it goes to court and they bring up training and the next thing you know...Lawsuit....but getting shot was different. I wanted him dead. I was firing as I lay on my back using my buddies arm to stablize the rifle.
People here can talk all they want but until you actually have to fight for your life...you will never understand why the U.S. Military is so large and so advanced....it is because we never want to have our people charging up a volcanic rock island kill zone again. Split Infinity

Hello Split,
You never told me that you were shot! I remember when I was being shot at, I was very mentaly alert to everything going on all around me. Thank God I was never hit! Hey did I ever tell you that I got a chance to train with the Israelis. Much respect for those guys.
Get back at me sometime Split, been wondering just how you have been doing. I'll be checking in every night the next couple of days.

You realize that ancient Hebrews as well as Turkish, Urdu, Tagalog and areas such as Spain and Portugal are names of various Arabic languages as well as a Judeo-Arabic languages as what is now Arab and Judeo precursers to Jews were of the same bloodline.
This has been proven Genetically as being Jewish is just stating a persons religion but ancient Hebrews and Modern Arabs are connected by blood.
You are trying to educate me? These two groups are waring Brothers. Split Infinity

My post was not directed at you but to someone who understands what I am talking about. If I wanted to impress someone...I would tell them I dodged the damn bullets and not be so stupid as to allow myself to get shot!

From what I know from a guy who works in the russian military,Russia has no interest in Iran,China has its interests.But Russia has interests in Syria and any western attack will culminate into limited or full blown warfare depending on how much much the Pentagon and the shadow govt of the USA is willing to up the ante.
According to him Pentagon is not interested in this but the corporate elite and the shadow govt. is interested in eradicating what it perceives as economic,political or military competitors to its ideology. So if USA attacks Iran ,He says that China will be involved only,but if Syria is invaded then its USA vs Russia in a matter of time.
Of course Israel started the civil war in Lebanon.
The idea was to pit the Christians against the Muslims and that is exactly what the Zionists did.

I'm doing just great, and yourself? Did you ever get your home back together? Who's the nut job who doesn't care about innocent people in another country being raped, murdered, etc, etc? Doesn't anyone care about "people" in other countries other than this one?
If you would like, I'm not working tonight, we can go on xat and catch up.
