I'm 26, with a bachelors in history, with a focus in european history, a minor in psych and I'm currently working 50 hours a week while taking care of my 6 year old parentless half brother and trying to get a bachelors in CJ(almost done), I've been with my girl for three years nov. 16th and we're engaged, haven't set a date yet due to me enlisting in the army at the end of November... Now that being said, stop replying to my posts u scrub. Emp erno, I never called myself mpg pro, but compared to u, I might as well be lunchbox LOL. I posted to make a point, not to be criticized by scrubs...again, anyone with half a brain and some skill, I know your out there because halo isn't like cod, it takes skill to play, please answer my previous question of how I ruined your INGAME experiance. Also, emp, I like all the boosted camaign commendations, ur so legit bro. Captain Grade 2 two weeks ago, before challenge resetting as well. No animocity was intended in my posts but I'm not gonna be called unlegit by scrubs I wipe the floor with because I boosted for armour...I boosted for something that never affected anyone gameplay and I accept the punishment...I just don't like the idea of scrubs calling me unlegit.[/quote] You have a worthless bachelors and you're joining the Welfare Corps. And you're calling other people scrubs? [/quote] But he totally owned my "fourth year medical student" with his "history degree"! I mean, he's probably going to go on and get an entry-level job in a field unrelated to his degree, while I'm going to graduate and become one of those worthless "doctor" people. ...Wait.[/quote] But he's joining the army which means we can't make fun of him for being worthless even though he is. A bumper sticker told me so. [/quote] My dad's ex-Army. (Pakistan, special ops/engineers, back in the 60s/70s when the Bangladesh split was going on. War movies can [i]never[/i] match up to some of the stories I've heard.) Perhaps amusingly, his final rank was Lt Col. I have plenty of respect for army folks. I just don't have any respect for army folks who are dumbasses. Thinking back on it, this may be due to the fact that I have no respect for dumbasses in general. The army thing has nothing to do with it. Turns out, an idiot's an idiot, no matter what the profession. Who'da thunk it?[/quote] I'm a veteran of the Iraq war, and I'm sick and tired of two things. A: "I'm in/going to be in/was in the army so you can no longer say anything bad about me or you're being unpatriotic" and B: "I joined the army and that makes me better than you" It's really not the manly man making experience war is hell -blam!- that everyone makes it out to be. It's just we keep sending softer and softer kids to fight, and they can't even handle getting fired from 7-11 or being dumped by the girl they dated in high school.
