(of course Izzy is going to sniff and say "duh. . even on a bad day. . .") Its things like that, I think that "warriors" bring to the table. Personally, I think the brains should compliment the muscle and vice versa.
    I'd never do such a thing..............

    Not dissing smart folk, I consider myself to be one......problem lies in when people are too smart for their own good or think they know more than they do.

    Take my platoon mate, "PFC. O.". Nice as nice could be. Super smart kid........I mean really intelligent.....Sheldon Cooper smart.....
    problem is, he had no common sense and thought himself to be an expert about everything. He wasn't. He couldn't walk through the PX parking lot without almost dying in traffic.
    He even tried to psycho-analyze me when I yelled at him. Smart guy..............dumber than a horse turd.....................yellow.....fire.....truck .......

    While any idiot can pull a trigger, a warrior can take the fight to the enemy, or even know when the trigger doesn't need to be pulled.
    There's more to making war than just pulling a trigger.
    Nonetheless, the less warrior-like but smart about more mechanical type things are also important.

    Most everybody brings something to the table. All can work together like the spokes of a wheel.









    Except for maybe the self-aggrandizing know-it-alls with egos so large they can't through a hangar door.

    But then again, somebody needs to fertilize the garden.

    because it was different.


    All kidding aside...... Guys let's reconsider what's being said here.

    A lot of guys are coming out and saying "warrior this and warrior that.....blah, blah".

    I want everyone to consider something. I don't believe that any one group of people will be any more valuable than another. I'm not a Thomas Edison any more than he was a gunfighter.........


    Guys, personally for me, I don't want to live in a world where everyone is a warrior.

    Those of us who are.....or have been there....done that....and have the scars:

    Guys, WE represent humanity at it worst. We represent failure.....the failure of law, peace, and civility. We've seen the horror and atrocities caused by other "warriors".
    Do we really want to surround ourselves with more of us?


    Look, I'm not saying that we're evil. I'm proud of what I've accomplished, as we all should be. I regret nothing I've done. However.....

    It takes a special type of person to dedicate himself to the demise of others and the art of warfare. We're brutal monstrosities when the switch is flipped.

    I long for the day when we are obsolete, but until then, I take pride in being a pipe-hitter. I stand to protect the nerds, the brainiacs, and the every day joe. They are our future, like it or not.

    Anyone who gets off on doing harm to another human needs to have the reigns pulled in....but being able to do it when necessary is a trait that will be necessary in the event.

    Some folks are protectors...some folks need protected....there will inevitability be a need for both.....as there is now....just on a different level.

    BTW....being a protector can mean hunting and removing the threat....not just defense.

    Why not a yellow submarine?....
