I don't believe the language in the quoted paragraph says anything other than that.
P.S. and I note the Original Poster has updated his location to slur the cradle of American liberty.
The irony is just too think. "People's Republic of Massachusettstan, USA", indeed.
And you wonder why fewer and fewer people seem to wanna talk to you.
Well, since none of the mod staff have gotten on your *** for this deliberate personal attack and attempt at a thread hijack, I don't suppose they'll care if I do a little hijack of my own( it is, after all, my thread).
For one thing, maybe you don't understand the concept of sarcastic humor--If I did not believe in "American Liberty" I would not be wearing its flag on TWO uniforms as I do. I just spent all of Saturday in uniform, for no money and no benefit, in support of soldiers about to deploy abroad, helping them through the legal, medical and dental paperwork process, helping them make out wills, and the three of us who showed up from MASG shaved about 5-6 hours of work off of the regular National Guard's schedule doing some of the most important things you can do for a soldier.
Next week, even though it isn't a scheduled drill date, I may be called there again to welcome returning soldiers BACK. For no money, and no benefit other than to do what I can for those troops in time of war.
Whenever a military police battalion needs training, I and my unit provide the "victims" "witnesses" and "Bodies".
Whenever an infantry battalion needs training, we provide the "enemy".
This is what my unit does--for no pay, no benefits other than to do what we can for those troops to help them come back alive.
Which in turn begs the question, since you are so eager to open your mouth to me about "American liberty"--just exactly what the hell have *you* done lately in its name?
What do *you* wear your US flag on? I'm guessing nothing but maybe your gi, depending on your Kenpo school.
For a second thing, you can take it from me that the way MA was at the Revolution when it actually WAS the "cradle of American liberty" and the way MA is now, are nothing alike. At all. But then, what do I know? I've only lived here all my life. But I don't know how much longer that's gonna last.
For the third thing, That has been in my location bar since a year and a half ago when I first joined, so either way, Mike, the joke's on you.
See I can't understand why it is that anytime I try to talk to you, it has to become all about how smart, and clever and awesome you believe yourself to be and it must always turn personal for you.
So I'm not gonna waste anymore time trying to figure you out when there are others with whom it is more productive to talk, and who also understand there are more important things in life than the self.
Welcome to my Ignore list, Mike.
