I think you just did.
Well, apparently when it comes to when to be able to fight a war for ya without being called a criminal, 'timing' would appear to be everything.

If you ask some elements of the Pentagon, anyway.

"Let's try to fight 'AlQueerda' with only overt-homophobes, then have them inflame people not previously-inflamed with homophobic college pranks, while the 'enemy' tries to do the same thing, ... but, we can't *possibly* have any openly LBGT people in the military... What could they *possibly* know about showing restraint and applied force in the face of being subjected to the kind of violence and degradation in the name of religious hatred that we're supposedly fighting?" Never mind keeping secrets under duress, of course, which was the last stupid reason! What could they know about *that?*


Lots, actually, of course.

Let's enhance 'unit cohesion' by making everybody 'suspect' of something that's not really that big a deal in the first place!

Did I mention some stuff has a way of getting *backwards* when people let themselves be scared? Maybe even 'terrorized?' Just a heads-up, there.

It has to do with what I was *replying* to that you attacked me for.

Define 'sundowning,' btw?

Was there some kind of defense of insecure rudeness in there?

Ok. What in the ten thousand names of the Mother is *that* supposed to mean?

After all that time saying I should be more afraid of them than you, for being, more like you than I am like them...

Did I mention that being rude and uncivil and bigoted, is not a sign of strength, but rather of weakness?

In a time of *war* it can border on willful criminal-incompetence. If 'terror' is *actually* your 'enemy,' rather than just something spelled similarly, ending in a.

Frankly, if coarseness is all you respect, you know where you can blow it out.


I prefer manners.
Go to hell. Words have more meanings and definitions than what they have in your little minute microcosm of a mind.
