The Rat Trap

Back in the day, we had an intern in our office, a Rawlins college sorority chick, and on weekends, she and her other sorority sisters would often go to the places around the Naval training center. They just went because the squids were nice kids from someplace else, and were willing to buy them drinks. They would dance, talk, maybe make out a little bit, I never asked if she got lucky. A new class of kids every couple months and she didn't have to put up with the Rollins entitled SOB bullshit attitude. Her words, not mine.

Those were the days.

[QUOTE=PurrFecttSwags;4016755]Actually it does. It means I came from for the most part a damn good family and a pretty awesome job raising 4 kids that have never been in trouble a day in their life, not ever detention in school nor a note home from teachers. Actually all my hard work taking them to little league softball paid off and they are legends in the town for softball that got them scholarships as well as my one daughter recieved the presidential scholarship who's attending her education now for forensic pshyshology. Why are you a member if you try to be little woman that you have to pay to have sex with. As will Smith would say " most the men here actually like woman". Seeiously, cancel your membership.

So you are a great mom (I'm sure you have some tights and a cape laying around somewhere), and you seek validation for all that on a hooker board? Let's give some more thought about who's pathetic?

Bet that little marine of yours would be super proud to see what mom is doing while he's "protecting our freedom." lol

[QUOTE=PurrFecttSwags;4016215]I know my military very well. My grandpa was in Airforce, gunner on a b53, my step dad Airforce, my other grandpa Army, my biological grandpa was Bundeswehr (if you know what the word means), practily most my family is either military, police or teachers. You can STFU now.

Swags.[/QUOTE]Is there such an aircraft as a B53?

[QUOTE=Jokester1;4017419]Is there such an aircraft as a B53?[/QUOTE]NO, there isn't. I didn't want to point that out since she clearly worked so hard to type it up. Guess granddad was [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B53_nuclear_bomb]flying nuclear bombs[/url]. LOL

[QUOTE=Yragyrag;4016650]Man, you really stepped in it now, LOL!

You really don't get out of the closet much, do you?

Anyone else here knows there is no love lost between Swags and I. You, on the other hand, come up for air and take a break from sipping cum in the closet to read a post or two, and accuse me of white knighting Swags?

We may seem that way (only) recently because we have common appreciation for those who "volunteer" to protect our great nation.

Did you ever serve in the military? Probably not, since back in your day gays were not allowed to serve.

I apologize ahead of time if by chance you happended to serve in the grand and glorious Texas National Guard. But thruth be told, you probably didn't serve at all due to bone spurs! LOL![/QUOTE]Well, that would make you wrong. [I]I'm pretty sure that's not an unusual state of affairs for you, but yeah[/I], I actually retired from the military back in the late 1990's. Here's the thing:

While veterans should be respected, I don't think they need to be glorified. This crazy "patriotic" pressure to "thank" a veteren every time you see one gets on my nerves, and is meant to reinforce some idea that they performed a service for me and I have to endlessly thank them.

This whole thing about "protecting our freedom" in Afghanistan -- are you joking? I'm worried about a lot of shit, but being invaded by Afghanistan ain't one of them.

I'm also not a fan of every business having some "veteran" slant. I'm a disabled vet, and I did my time and I get my benefits. I don't need everyone thanking me for my service or running around with "support our troops" stickers all over their cars. I made a deal with the government and kept up my end. Now they can keep theirs.

Wiki:

B53 nuclear bomb.

The Mk / B53 was a high-yield bunker buster thermonuclear weapon developed by the United States during the Cold War. Deployed on Strategic Air Command bombers, the B53, with a yield of 9 megatons, was the most powerful weapon in the USA Nuclear arsenal after the last B41 nuclear bombs were retired in 1976.

The B53 was the basis of the W-53 warhead carried by the Titan II Missile, which was decommissioned in 1987. Although not in active service for many years before 2010, fifty B53's were retained during that time as part of the "hedge" portion of the Enduring Stockpile until its complete dismantling in 2011. The last B53 was disassembled on 25 October 2011, a year ahead of schedule.

With its retirement, the largest bomb currently in service in the USA Nuclear arsenal is the B83, with a maximum yield of 1. 2 megatons. The B53 was replaced in the bunker-busting role by a variant of the two-stage B61 nuclear bomb.

I see you say you retired "[I]from the military[/I]". That's what most people say when they're not particularly proud of their service. In another post, you outed yourself as a squid.

While I agree with your last three paragraphs, [B][i]THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE[/i][/B] anyway!

Who was it that joined the conversation complaining of "feeble minded religious bullshit" just because she invoked the word "God" in a joke that was obviously about "football"?

You better go grab YOUR tights and cape - - they're right there in the closet where you left them - - you're boyfriend in the closet probably has them on.

It especially irks me when folks my own age, or maybe a little older, say that crap - - because they were probably the same ones back then that were spitting on my Marines as we returned from overseas.

So now we know he was just playing dumb - - he certainly knows what BrokeBackMountain is all about!

He also let the cat out of the bag, he doesn't even live in Orlando. You just have to look through the first page of his posts to see he posts all over the country on a daily basis.

Sorry he's disabled, but guess he's got nothing else to do all day (when he's not in the closet) but sit behind his keyboard and interject his [I]wisdom[/I] all over the country! LOL!

Not everybody needs to compensate for having a micro penis by letting everybody know they were a fucking gyreen.

A2.[/QUOTE]THIS! I did my time, retired and moved [B]ON[/B]. Some of these dipshits won't move 3 miles from the base, so they can just keep heading down the the VFW or NCO club. Do they still have NCO clubs? LOL.

[QUOTE=Jokester1;4017419]Is there such an aircraft as a B53?[/QUOTE]The B-53 was a big ass thermonuclear bomb carried by B-58 bombers that could leave a 3 mile wide crater, flatten all buildings within a 9 mile radius and burn up all living life within a 20 mile radius. It was designed to collapse the war bunkers south of Moscow. Fortunately, we never had to learn if it actually worked.

I am going to guess Susie meant the B-52. Lots of those still in the sky raining terror on our select enemies.

A2.[/QUOTE]What I meant by that is I think the Vietnam war, in particular, has some unusual circumstances. The servicemen took the brunt of what our weak-minded politicians wrought to the tune of 58 K dead. And the way they were treated, after all, was fucking horrendous.

When you're drafted and sent off to fight a war that becomes unpopular, it's shitty to blame people that were trying to keep themselves alive during the prosecution of the war.

So I'm "appreciative" of their sacrifices because it was difficult. I feel this way for all of our military. I'm not supportive of people who've mostly never served a day getting their "free patriotism badge" by using them as battering rams or profit centers for everything from football to t-shirts to bumper stickers.

And I'm just fucking with that yrag dude because he seems to think this "squid vs. marine" thing has legs. LOL.

A2.[/QUOTE]Sure, every time someone is proud of something they "did" or "have", they are compensating for a micro penis. That's a real old story. Truth is, most folks that use that line do it out of pure jealousy - - pure and simple!

Thank you for your and your uncle's service - - sounds like he was in the real shit!

His response went into a long tirade about what he thought of the war, but his original words didn't indicate anything like that.

For anyone that wants to know how the parts arrived, here you go:

[CENTER][quote]"They broke the bomb parts in several distinct, secret shipments code-named BRONX (irreplaceable parts, like fissile material) and BOWERY (parts that could be replaced within several weeks, like the other components of the bomb).

Most of the heavy components the non-nuclear parts for the gun bomb (with many spares), and the ~80 lb high-enriched uranium "projectile" for the Little Boy bomb were from Los Alamos to Albuquerque on July 14st, in "a closed black truck and seven cartloads of security guards" (Rhodes, Making of the Atomic Bomb), [b]and from there were flown to Hamilton field in San Francisco in two DC-3[/b]s. There another security convoy moved them to the [b]USS Indianapolis at Hunter's Point, San Francisco,[/b] and which left for Tinian on July 16th (just hours after the Trinity test was completed). The containers were welded to the deck of the Indianapolis and kept under 24-hour armed guard."[/quote][/CENTER]
