(...) I'm sorry you feel insulted for so little, especially since you said yourself you "assumed" I was talking about Americans, while I was talking about anyone in N. America or Europe.

I'm anti-republican, yes, but that's got nothing to do with it. Now, you mentioned (...) (21 years ago, 11-Apr-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Your last two posts are basically trolls, Lar. Personally, I have found your position pretty wishy-washy so far. Against the war, but if we're in it, then let's do this or that thing. Etc, Etc, Etc. One band-aid solution after another. I think (...) (21 years ago, 11-Apr-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

If a tank commander can't make immediate decisions, then how can you argue that anyone short of the chief can make decisions? Does a private have to (...)
