[ QUOTE ]
This may seem like a small point to fight over.

but I must say sir "your full of [censored]"


[/ QUOTE ]

I'm an active duty Infantry Officer in the US Army. I've been in combat several times to include the current war.


[ QUOTE ]
if you actually believe you can possibly understand the "Reality of War"...you have any idea of how broad and impossible that is?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think I can, can you? Do you have any combat or war experiences?

[ QUOTE ]
Have you ever fought in a war?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes.

[ QUOTE ]
Have you ever grown up in a war?

[/ QUOTE ]

I was first fired on by an automatic weapon when I was 13 years old, it wasn't deliberately fired at me, but it was close enough I had to crawl to cover.


[ QUOTE ]
Have you ever lived in a war torn country?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes serveral, I've lived in 6 different countries and been in over 60, half of them third world. Have you ever been in a war torn country?

[ QUOTE ]
Ever been a farmer to afraid to harvest his fields because its been mined?

[/ QUOTE ]

No but I've been is a few minefields, none of which were laid by US forces. Have you ever been in a minefield or seen the effects of what a mine can do to the human body?

[ QUOTE ]
Have you had live ammunition fired through the walls of your house?

[/ QUOTE ]

Better yet, I've actually had live ammunition fired through my skin. You wanna compare scars?

[ QUOTE ]
Its actually impossible to understand the reality of war because you would have to have lived some many different lives, and died many times.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've probably lived a more diverse and different life than you have, so I'd have to disagree with your last point but if you say its impossible then I guess it is because you are the expert.

Also, your selective cut and paste job on the invention of chemical warfare is biased and incorrect. Based on your own link the French started modern chemical warfare off in WWI and it was devised and "invented" thousands of years before that.
