As an example <<LINK>>.

The information I offered was that there was no unreleased information in the video game trailers. I believed it was pertinent to this thread.

"The first"'s first part: Let me get this straight. You KNOW that 'this' isn't a 'popular position' here... and you go ahead and do it anyway?

"The first"'s second part: Would you care to delineate these 'milblogs' that are 'respected' by you (with your vast experience in things military) and 'endorsed' Act of Valor?

"The first"'s third part: I am sure these " respected milblogs" are honored by you agreement with their "reasoning".

The second: How old are you? Time is fleeting. "The future is now."

(Please take the hint... I'm old and grow tired.)

Well, you are asking questions, and I expect you want truthful answers.

Blackfive supported Act of Valor, as well as This Ain't Hell.

I am still pretty young.

How young is 'pretty young'? One can enlist at 18...without permission!

Even good blogs have bad days. I read the reviews of the movie, and that is what they were... reviews of a movie.

I don't know "Uncle Jimbo" - but he is apparently SF and I'll respect HIS opinion as a BTDT.

I don't know Jonn Lilyea personally, but he is a Brother Moatengator, so I'll respect HIS opinion, too.

My personal view is that sometimes veterans and military types let their desire for a 'pro-military' movie outweigh their better judgement about whether this kind of shit should be shown in public.

As for you, young man, you are a NBTNDT, and as such, your opinions don't amount to a bucket of warm spittle... and that is the point I've been trying to get across to you - obviously not successfully - in this and other threads.

Your lack of SA (as characterized by this statement: "I know this isn't a popular position here...") will eventually get you booted from here. Someone with experience can voice unopular statements and engender debate, because they know whereof they speak. You do not.

I'm not threatening, because I don't have the power to ban you (or you'd have been gone about three weeks ago). I'm just warning you about what eventually happens to those who stray out of their lanes. With NO military experience, except what you've read on "millblogs", your NG brother has told you, or you've seen in movies, your lane is a verrrry narrow one.

I'm fiinished discussing this topic with you. I'd suggest you be finished, too.

Have a very SF day.

Then perhaps you should leave our house and go lurk in an area where you are agreed with more often. You have no idea what a standard is, let alone the standards of this forum. Look down, and you will see the thin ice your standing on.
