I only read the last sentence, sounds about right.

Sure you did.

I'm not even kidding, skimmed over the first few as well but saw you weren't going to explain why you recanted and instead just provide detail of military life that had nothing to do with anything I've said. Having now read it in full I simply regret that I did. So instead of your privates pushing this gangster down the stairs, you personally beat him up, why wasn't that obvious huh. Stick to sorting out mouth breathers.

I didn't recant anything. You made some false assumptions from my post probably due to your prejudices so I explained to you what I was talking about. The military is a different lifestyle, you are not familiar with it and don't' understand it and that is fine but you shouldn't make blanket generalizations about a large group of people or insult someones profession b/c you don't understand it or agree with it. Hey man bigotry is often accompanied with low morals and ignorance. You'd fit right in.

Your post was hardly vague ffs. My prejudices lead me to believe that after this guy "fell down a flight of stairs" followed by your commenting that privates can be so clumsy, they might have had something to do with that. I'm glad it wasn't like that and you personally kicked his ass instead, clearly I was way off.

Why would I put it in parentheses if that was literally what happened? Did I say I kicked his ass? Neither instance would be classified as getting beat up or having ones ass kicked. Both occasions they swing, I execute a take down and ultimately a submission using the training I had been trying to get them to participate in. Leadership is about assessing what motivates a person and leveraging it. These two young men needed to see there was value in what the Army had to offer them but they had to play ball. Having what they thought of as an old white guy put them on their ass changed their perspective. Last I heard from them both were still serving successfully. I know you really want this to be some neanderthal episode but it was a leadership success. If you don't understand it, thats fine but you shouldn't espouse sweeping generalizations about a group of people and profession, particularly when you aren't familiar with it.

I didn't care whether he literally fell down stairs, but your post clearly implied that it was some privates who beat him up one way or another. My point wasn't about specifics of serving in the military, it was a sweeping generalization about people who are drawn to positions of force period. Most people don't have to worry about having people swing at them or submission holds on a regular work day, you know
