Aw Gee, Steve, did we start yet another fight? Kindly show us the post in this thread that provoked your poor innocent trolls into engaging in yet another MCS bashing spree?

So you believe the "fruit of Tojo's Loins," the guy who thinks the Japanese were the poor innocent victims of American Imperialism, is actually me undercover? Are you on drugs, Steve?

This is yet another example of you not knowing where your problem is, and who is responsible for it. It's blatently obvious to me that this latest round of MCS bashing is entirely unprovoked, as none of our "morons" said so much as A goddamned word while all this "polite conversation" was going on. How about you get your head out of your ass and figure out who's starting all these "pissing contests" you claim to abhor, yet are always participating in?

I'm sick to death of hearing you whine and complain about how our guys are ruining the "decorum" here when it's YOU and your pals that are just won't quit slinging all the "monkey poo" you claim you're too sophisticated to engage in.

So how about you set the example and STFU? If you got a problem with me or my "morons" you know perfectly well where you can bring it. How about you and your trolls stop hiding behind Joe's skirts and squealing like little girls when ever somebody interupts your libel by responding to it?

I"ve told y'all a dozen times; don't start nothing and there won't be nothing. It's just that simple.

Big B-

Sicily - 1943

Sgt Dorman USA poses next to an Italian WWI memorial.
Brolo, Sicily, Italy 14 Aug 1943

It's a small point - but outside of the Airborne, the Infantry (and Marines) wore leggings for the entire war.
The exceptions were troops in Italy in 1944, and after D-Day - double-buckle boots were being seen on troops in Europe in increasing numbers (but always the exception rather than the rule). Sateens' were seen in Northern Europe as well by late '44-'45.

The key tip-off to the time and place of this photo is the fact that the soldier is wearing no camo net on his helmet, his boots are 'rough-outs' with leggings (North Africa saw troops wearing polished boots with leggings), and he's wearing H.B.T.s'. That is the combo that screams Sicily.

Ohh, I don´t know bobogoboom. I thought I did pretty good there. IIRC there were at least some Brits who agreed with me on a few key points. I certainly remember one saying it was a very silly and expensive position for British to maintain.

But bobogoboom, if you want to see a real crucifiction. Watch this video of Carol Thatcher arriving in Argentina last year on CQC. I understand this was for a British documentary about the war. Something tells me this didn´t make it into the documentary or on the British news. It starts in Spanish but the reporter switches to English. I think you´ll get the idea pretty well.

problem is you have to identify those wanting to start a war of words from those who are ignorant (Chinese Lancasters) from those who honestly believe something and their use of English (being their 2nd/3rd language) makes them appear rude/ignorant.

I would also support the more frequent use of the sarcasm smiley Just isnt big enough

We need to have Swift find us one .He's definately the smiley king!

It seems everyone is looking for a good "sarcasm smiley" - various ones used don't really convey sarcasm very well. i've always thought the tongue-sticking out denoted mild teasing.

Some forums use the "eye-rolling" smiley, some use an "eye-rolling" smiley with a stupid smile. No one is very happy with these, it seems... i've found this one that seems to convey the message pretty well, though:

But if the doglette or his minions would care to discuss their strategies or tactics for playing UV or WITP or WPO then we might feel that their intrusions were more welcome.

Doggie do you ever READ anything before you shoot your mouth off? 1) I'm not and never have been on drugs. 2) I have not made any of the comments or accusations you attribute to me. All I did was ask why we keep going around with each other. Well , you have given me the answer. Every time I try to be conciliatory and hold out the hand of friend ship you spit on it. The real problem , is that no matter what I say ,do or think , you want to fight. It's all you need , care about or want. You guys fight amongst yourselves , then if nothing is going on there , you go looking for it. Someone tries to make peace , and you find great amusement in ****ting all over him. ENOUGH!!!!

If you want to talk this out , you have my e-mail. I'll give you my phone number . I'll meet you . Whatever. But stop putting words in my mouth . And I personally would very much like to "get my head out of my ass" and shove my boot up yours. But that's not going to solve this problem. What about it Doggie? I though you were an NCO? NCO's don't start problems, they solve them. Have you got the guts to work with me to end this constant bickering? Or are just another pissing contest junkie? Balls in your court.

Yeah, I read threads with innocuous sounding titles about the War in the Pacific, but by the time i get to page three they're all about what a sorry son of a bitch I am. It's getting rather tiresome.

Maybe you clowns should take up a hobby, like a computer game or something. Your current passtime of always obsessing about me and what's going on in the MCS is going to end up embarrassing and humiliating you.

You call that a hand of friendship? You go to hell.
