Both men and women have been since the beginning of time. This whole "women can't be good soldiers" thing is actually a relatively recent and mostly western culture thing. For that matter so is the whole don't hit a woman just because they are a woman thing. It should be no more acceptable to run around hitting guys.

(sorry, I'm a bit hungry right now)

Just make sure you have Commando Pro on so when you jump off the 3 story building for the round ending kill cam you don't take any fall damage.

If you didn't Y-Y Fakey Javelin ladder stall to start the kill cam I don't even know why you would go for the kill anyway.....

Now I really want to play MW2 search and destroy on Favela....

I'm not even sure I'll take it, unless they can match some very specific requests I have. More just looking to see what's out there, really. The thing that makes me not want to really consider this new job seriously is that the grass is always greener. I have decent job security, and, talking to my boss during my performance review last month, I'm a leading candidate for a promotion next year which would be the same position I've applied for at this other place.

Holy shit, this sounds like me minus the interview part.

Sure, I could be making more money elsewhere and the head boss flat out said that. But job security is there for the near future (unless everyone seriously starts to fuck up and our clients hate us at the same time) and I am in the running for promo by mid next year. Combined with the night differential, that's some serious money for a mid 20's person with no college degree. :o

"Oh but I'll just sit here and hold my breath till I see your enlistment papers cuz only then will your opinion fucking matter". Apparently being a soldier is easy as fuck and my crippled mom could do it. Why the fuck would I want to sign up? They'll fuck up all your paper work. Lie to your face. Put you under Lt. Douchenozzle who went from basic to officer school and never saw a gun before that. And then, God help you if you get shot, you're gonna lie on the ground and bleed out cuz Barbie sucked her way into your squad and she can't lift her purse, let alone a body. No thanks. I'll just hope I never have to rely on our troops to protect me

Clearly, you don't know a whole lot about the military. On my basic training and my soldier qualification courses, 7 of 12 instructors were veterans. Of those 7, 5 had come back from Afganistan 2 months before, and were full of piss and vinegar ready to ruin our lives.

The military isn't about being He-Men 24/7. It's about being able to complete the fucking mission. How is that accomplished? Team work. You don't need to be able to crush a wind pipe in hand to hand. You take whatever dirty tactic you can think of, and use it. If that means I need to kick someone in the shin, then gouge their eyes out, so be it. If my fire team partner gets shot and is taken out of the firefight, I'm moving to join up with another team.

If you've never experienced it, then you can't really speak on it. I find it interesting how much disrespect you have for your people in uniform, but that's the right you have, that millions of vets have fought and died for since the USA became a thing. Like sitting down during a national anthem, opposing a conflict your country is involved with, or whatever. You are able to do those things because someone did get shot in the face, and their "*****" team member couldn't fireman carry them out... But that was probably because there were 10-20 German machine guns raining fire down at that point, and taking out those MGs was more important.

Don'tcha love our first amendment? The funny part is, although reluctantly, our miliatary (hell, even the Canadian military, even Tcoat back in the day) would still protect you from foreign aggression, because that is their duty.

Pretty sure you have rage quit by this point, or just realized how wrong you were and that you went too far. If you do come back, I certainly hope you are a bit more humble for the experience. You went too far on too many assumptions, dude.

but that is the society we live in. all I'm saying is allowing one and not the other sends quite the mixed message.

my personal favorite opener: "You're so damned cute I want to knit us matching sweaters." or "here's your chance. dazzle me.".
