job in Iraq:

\_ An acquaintance of a friend is doing something like this. He'll
pull down $250k/year... If he survives.
\_ If I had enough Cisco I'd apply. You know what those 4 ex-special
forces guys were doing in Iraq before they got butchered? Getting
a shit load of money to be there. You know what the 1000s of others
in their position are doing right now? Getting a shit load of money
to be there. Their odds are only slightly worse than your odds
walking down the street in Oakland at night and you don't make as
much.
\_ Those guys were offered $60K for 3 months of work. One of them,
the Navy SEAL, was on Combat Missions and has his own series
of workout videos, his own personal training company for stars.
\_ I also don't walk around Oakland at night.
\_ Wuss. you should be fine with an AK-47 and a flak jacket.

\_ Yes, if only those four Americans had guns on their
persons at the time, all of this could have been avoided,
because we *all know* that if everyone had guns there
would be no crime.
\_ Lisa: "I told you capital punishment wasn't a deterrent."
\_ You have won the "Best Retort of the Day" award.
\_ not really. that's just old rehash and red herring.
\_ If those 4 guys were armed the same in Oakland they'd
be ok at night. They were simply inadequately armed
for the place they were in. If they were in an APC or
even a military humvee instead of a civilian truck,
they'd be here today. Hey, I know, I'll bet if all the
US military guys stomping around Iraq simply stopped
carrying weapons we'd lose fewer guys. Right? We know
(as you say) that having a weapon has no defensive use
or value, right? The next time we invade a country we
should send girl scouts with cookies and daisies. What
is your plan if someone breaks into your house? Offer
them tea and ask them politely to not kill you or rape
your daughter?
\_ if everyone carries a gun at night in Oakland,
I would not dare to go there, cause I can't tell
who is the crook. also, the bad dude may have
a bigger gun then me, even though most ladies
think my gun is big enough.
\_ Even a .22 can kill, sometimes.
\_ if everyone carried a gun, they'd be a lot more
polite after an initial darwinian blood bath.
that you say anything about his gun being bigger
than your gun says you know nothing about guns.
i don't want to be shot by a dinky .22 anymore
than a big honking 44. I can get killed by either
and even if i survive it's going to hurt like
a motherfucker. |
