In @cookie's defense, I think what is meant by "government employees crime gang" in this context is what we pejoratively call "non-essential government workers", which would not include veterans, IMHO.
I don't disagree with a single word of that. But I just get the sense, having seen several other of cookie's posts, that s/he is not ranting against those that served, but rather is ranting against that pond scum that profits off of us citizens. That's all I'm saying/suggesting...That said...
"government employees crime gang"....is an very large brush with an huge amount of paint....or a extra jumbo sized blanket statement....
One thing that I dislike about blanket statements is that they are often one size fits none.
Yep...could very well be...I don't disagree with a single word of that. But I just get the sense, having seen several other of cookie's posts, that s/he is not ranting against those that served.
Soooo...
Since the members of the armed services are government employees as well....are they the gang members of which you speak so often of...?
And more to the point...
I am a veteran and now a teacher in a public school...I assure you that I am not a gang member.

Can you hold a flintlock sideways gangsta-style? Inquiring minds want to know!I'd be a gang member with you Andy! I got cho back homie!

Wearing all that red around everywhere...The Brits were OG Bloods...
YUP,The Brits were OG Bloods...
Yes you can....and if you have a good , tuned lock...you can even shoot with your flintlock turned upside down.Can you hold a flintlock sideways gangsta-style? Inquiring minds want to know!
See, there is a bit of gansta' in yaYes you can....and if you have a good , tuned lock...you can even shoot with your flintlock turned upside down.

I had actually started to wonder about the capabilities of flintlock et.al. in a combat situation. Shooting from prone with a modern weapon is easy, and any modern firearm can be used upside down, wet, etc.Yes you can....and if you have a good , tuned lock...you can even shoot with your flintlock turned upside down.

Thanks a lot Andy... You just made me feel 100 years OLD !!!There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware....

That song and those lines are still just as relevant today as they were 53 years ago
Andy
That is true but when ever I read the paper or see the news reports what else can I believe.Could be so.

i never say anything about our enlisted personnel. I will bring up since here that I am pissed that we don't allow our people what ever it takes for for being put into danger,,, 100% victory. I have friends that are unionized government employees and tell they are raping the taxpayers all the time with their low output and retirement packages that most taxpayers would riot in the treets if they were aware .I don't disagree with a single word of that. But I just get the sense, having seen several other of cookie's posts, that s/he is not ranting against those that served, but rather is ranting against that pond scum that profits off of us citizens. That's all I'm saying/suggesting...
What did I say about our service people? I doubt an enlisted person is a unionized government employee.HOW DARE YOU, I wore a Uniform for 20 years keeping folks like you safe, and yet i'm part of a Gov. crime gang? That's a very offensive, obtuse, ill informed assumption, and I am warning you in no uncertain terms DO NOT EVER lump me and those like me into such a group, or assume i'm a part of some crime gang!
