Still one member sadly missing from this?!
Give it a break guys, to me it looks like a bunch of school yard bullies picking on one kid. I have NOT read ALL of Ironmans posts as well as I have NOT read all of your posts. The ones I have read since he has been back seem polite (unlike some others) and on topic, to someone watching it is obvious you do not like him and try and pick his posts apart.
Most of this stuff we talk about guy’s are OPINIONS and some will differ than others…thats life. I understand where ironmans idea of the US attitude here comes from because Ive felt that way reading some of your posts too. NO country is perfect and we could find BIG faults in each if we look.
Ive been here longer than some of you and not as long as others but this looks to be a rather new board but to me it seems if someone does not agree with you he becomes the new target.
Okay…I got my boots on…Fire Away
edit: spelling

On the contrary, although I may disagree with some of your posts, you come across as a reasonable person with well thought out posts and replies.
Our friend however has a history of hate, and if you had been here before his ban, you may agree. I am always willing to admit that my country is not the whitest out there, the Amritsar massacre for one is pretty shamefull.
You have served in the Military, he has not, but still offers his opinions on the minute details of military practices. He has also been known to alter his posts to fit subsequent discussions. Never answer straight questions, and finally generally TROLL other members to gain the reaction he is looking for.
Furthermore, he has claimed several attributes that were just not true or didnt hold up to inspection by experts in the field.
Far from ganging up on him, we are frankly wary of him.
If he has reformed (which on the evidence so far seems unlikely) I for one welcome him back into this community.
If he hasnt, well he should Piss off back to where he come from.
As I said before, you have to read his previous posts to understand our reactions to him.
Cdo Jord, I am thinking about comeing down to you, as your army is looking for 300 blokes a year to emigrate down.
I fancy my chances.
My list is not complete, as I was called away. But yes, some on their are not countries i ntheir own right, but they are seperate in identity. It is up to the reader if he includes them or not.
From what i can see we have a large number of well traveled individuals who should hvae a broad opinion on the world.
Mike m i really appreciate your loyalty to a country man, but the guy is a knob. for all the reasons firefly stated.
Practically everything that is said that is against america is because we don’t like the country. Yet read the link in his signature. The guy is a narrow minded simpleton walt, who is a disgrace to your fine country.
I’ll add a few more as I have chance, in red.
Maybe Iron man thinks we are all like him. Clueless walts who have not military service.
He hasn’t twigged yet that we actually know more than him though experience.
Could you post the statements you have a problem with? I cant seem to find any that bizarre. On the other hand I have found bizarre post from others. :lol:

We could start with him alledging that the British Army is made up of cowards that hide behind Gurkhas (hired mercenary killers apparently, rather than one of the more respected infantry regiments in the most respected Army in the world) I suppose.
The we could move onto the way he lies in posts about what his father has told him about Korea - which was lifted word for word from the Call of Duty handbook.
Or the way that he constantly ignores posts that don’t agree with what he says, or quotes three words from half a page pf writing and uses them to accuse the writer of anti-Americanism.
Or the way he argued with members of the British Army for weeks about British doctrine. Or with aero engineers about jet engines.

Read Walther War machines Big Book of Soldier knowledge.
In it you can see that hes clueless but more importantly you can see thta he is needlessly condescending and patronising. - If there are two things that are going to piss off serving members of the miltary or British people in General then it is those two attributes. You should not argeu your betters - in this case more experienced and you certainly shouldnt patronise a man that has “done” what you only do in Computer games.
