colterphoto1 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Amen, although I might not always agree with out government's reasons (trying hard not to get political), Thank the good Lord that there are young men and women who will answer the call to protect our freedoms. God Bless every vet and serviceperson this and every day. If you see a vet, thank them for their service. Think about the freedoms we enjoy in this great country of ours. A friends son just came back from the East last week, so I am thankful. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Blacksmith Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 On behalf of myself and all the Vets I know, It was my honor to do my duty to protect this great country we have. There are many points of view I disagree with but it was my job and honor to serve to keep the privilege of free speech and the way of life of all Americans free.

TBrennan Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 J.4-----The wars by which I've most directly benefited were those that drove the Indians from Illinois, where I live, and Kentucky, where I'm moving. My property. They were a nasty business and unlike Indian wars out west involved thousands of American losses at places like Blue Licks, Kekionga, the headwaters of the Wabash, Fort Dearborn, River Raisen and Dudley's Fall. At Fort Recovery Ohio the bones of the over 600 American soldiers killed by the Indians in St. Clair's Disaster on the headwaters of the Wabash lie in a mass grave under a monument. I imagine those fellas aren't given much thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBrennan Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 http://www.sar.org/dessar/kirkwood.htm J.4------Read this about a fella that fought through most of the Revolution as a Continental in a Delaware regiment and was later an officer in the 2nd United States Infantry and killed in St. Clair's Disaster in Ohio in 17and91. A thoroughly veteran soldier killed at the age of 35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubelover Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Thanks especially to those veterans who drove the Indians from the Old Northwest and made Illinois and Kentucky safe places for people like us. Care to explain that Tom?? Evidently "Old Blow Hard" is indeed a very important guy and it's not 100% in his mind[] Hello Gentlemen, I've been quietly reading the posts on this forum for several months but this thread has prodded me to actually respond in writing. This "Old Blowhard" chap (Tbrennan) seems to be a retired individual with little else to do but plod through audio forum after audio forum trying to get others to believe he's some sort of authority of speakers. That's fine by me. I've taken the time to search other forums and like one individual said in an above post, this Tbrennan fellow changes his tune more times then you can shake a stick at. Does his contradict himself left and right? YES. Does he come off as a snotty, stuck-up Mr. Know It All? YES. Did he make a complete and utter fool of himself by threatening legal action against this website and a gentleman who posts here under the name Nosvalves? YES. Does any of the above mean anything other then the fact that this old coot's a sad, lonely man who had next to nothing to do with his life but to play charades and make ridiculous, paper tiger threats? NO. Somebody obviously hit a raw and exposed nerve with this Tbrennan character so those not kindred with him can take some delight in knowing that they finally got a leg up on this guy. Judging from his rants and the typical responses thus to, I'd day he had it coming, as most aging Blowhards do. Nevertheless, it's probably best to just let him crawl into his corner, or under his bed, or wherever he happens to go to lick his wounds and hide his face, and just give him the chance to scab and recover. He'll be back, perhaps under a differerent guise or perhaps not. Guys like him always are. They feed off of this type of chaos. But several of you hurt him simply by exposing the truth and backing it with hard, undisputable facts. If this Old Blowhard character takes it the wrong way and decides to jump through his highrise bedroom window because he thinks that his life is over because he's been exposed as the true Blowhard he is on the only social outlets he has left (these forums), then how would you feel knowing you could very well have helped drive him over the ledge he might very well have been on? Some of these Blowhards, particularly the old ones, are emotionally fragile and can crack at any minute. And cracking can take many forms. What if he decides to take matters into his own hand and instead of jumping out a window or calling Judge Judy to rescue him, he decides to pay one or more of you who ruffled his feathers a visit? Have you ever stopped to think about that? Yes, it sounds crazy to a rational person but just how rational, or irrational, is this Mr. Old Blowhard? In my personal opinion, I'd rather see the old, possibly deranged, devil jump to his death out his high rise window then pay me an unexpected late night visit. Then again, I guess I would rather him just stay under his bed licking his wounds and hiding his face only to resurface here on the forums a few weeks later under a different name. Besides, it colorful old characters like himself that can help bring a sense of levity to some of these forums. He just has to understand and accept what Nosvalves said - what goes around comes around. Evidently, this thread pretty much sums it up for the old "BH", doesn't it? I bet dollars to donuts that "BH" was a conscienscious objector too? He's just another anti-military liberal if you ask my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBrennan Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 "He's just another anti-military liberal if you ask my opinion." I doubt many value your opinion. This ungentlemanly expressions and gasconading conduct to me is in true character of yourself and unmasks you to the world, and plainly shows that they were the ebullitions of a base mind goaded with stubborn proofs of fraud and flowing from a source devoid of every refined sentiment or delicate sensation. You put me in mind of Thomas Swann, another provocative popinjay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen "gasconading" and "ebullitions" in the same sentence before. Honestly, I don't even know what they mean.... How do you ridicule somebody to the world if you talk over the world's head? Sounds like some "Hard-Blowin'" to me... [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
