Still using that same old argument, huh jdub? "I was in the Navy for ten years. I've been around the world. That makes me smarter than anyone else on Xomba. You have no right to speak about anything that has to do with foreign affairs because I'm Jim and I served my country. That makes me more qualified than you and gives me and only me special privileges and abilities to seek and find 'truth.' Anything I say is right and if you disagree it's because you haven't served in the military like I have. You're a 'chickenhawk' and only use ad hominem arguments to support your position...but I don't because I served my country. You're just a fascist 'Russophobe' - and did I mention you only use ad hominems?" - jdubhub Well, how about this, tough guy... I joined the military after we were attacked on 9-11. I achieved the highest possible score on the ASVAB (99 QT). I was an Honor Graduate in basic training. I was also a qualified Marksman. While I was serving, I received injuries to my head, shoulder, and back and was forced to take an Honorable Discharge. I served my country well and paid a price for it. What does this have to do with the comments made here on Xomba? Nothing at all. I am not entitled to any special "truths" because of my service. I'm not here to seek special favor because of my military record. It has nothing to do with my worldly experience or my writing ability. Bringing up one's service is a phony argument and does nothing but distract the reader from the real issues by trying to convince them that because of the author's military experience they ought to overlook the weaknesses or failures of the argument being made. Why do you constantly bring up your military service? Because your arguments are pathetic and you're trying to grasp for just the slightest bit of credibility or relevance. You're a fake, Jim. Your articles are simply re-hashed diatribes from your list of debunked or preposterous "media" outlets. I was always skeptical about your aim and your thought processes, but only recently did I discover that your articles are not a product of your own mind...they are a compilation of other people's work - and those works aren't even worth reading, which is why they're reduced to posting on websites with little or no credibility. So enjoy yourself and your irrelevance. You may have a few sycophants here, but you'll never be worth the energy you waste posting the trash that comprises your daily Xomba "content." It's been fun. (Not really.) Good day. *If you're interested in reading my articles, Click Here.

You brag about serving your country and at the same time, you wouldn't hesitate to sell her to our enemies. Thanks, but no thanks. You should have stayed home, at least your words would not sound like treason. To read my posts and articles click here: http://www.xomba.com/xombyte/lmorovan

If you don't like how the country is being governed, why don't you do something about it? Other than just spout all your venom and hatred? Put up or shut up! To read my posts and articles click here: http://www.xomba.com/xombyte/lmorovan

I don't see anybody siding with the enemy. Well, I understand how you could interpret it that way, given how you seem to be prone to regurgitating the standard, tired, old right wing rhetoric. It's probably not your fault. Some people just aren't strong enough to shake off the herd mentality.

So, if your mother committed genocide, you would say that the law was wrong and that she should get a pass? If your mother shot someone in full view of thousands of witnesses, you would say that she shouldn't be prosecuted? There is a difference between "defending" one's country and being interested in one's country being right or being put right. Shame that you don't know the difference. DO YOU HAVE THE WRITE STUFF?
