It's a rhetorical question... Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

masterrig 1 #20 August 26, 2012 FOX News and all the other news networks have no scruples. It's not like the 'old days' when a reporter would not give the name of someone who asked that their name not be given-out. They had an un-written 'code of ethics'. That's all gone out the window for ratings and viewers. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What boggles the mind is thinking that the right-wing has ever had the well-being of the military as a priority. My experience with SpecOps folks is that they are supreme warriors and not that concerned with political ideology. Right wing, left wing no matter, the mission is the message and the purpose. At the beginning of the movie "Act of Valor" a SEAL states that the worst part of growing old is that men will no longer think of you as dangerous. Mark Owen violated the SpecOps code but I am going to buy and read the book. You bet your sweet ass I am. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StreetScooby 5 #23 August 26, 2012 Quote Did they put him at risk...or did he do so himself and to other servicemen by writing this outside of DoD auspices or review in the first place? This guy can't be stupid. I am sure he expected to be found out, and he knew the danger that would bring to himself and his family. I am also just as certain he has a plan to protect himself and his family. I doubt this plan will entail holding hands and singing Kumbaya with anyone foolish enough to track him down. I'm definitely going to buy the book. He can use the money to buy more ammo We are all engines of karma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryoder 1,384 #25 August 26, 2012 Once I got his name from Fox News, then googled that, I pulled up stories stating that he did *not* have the book vetted by the DoD prior to publishing. WTH? It's hard to believe he or his publisher would be that reckless."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.
