Where has KIMBO SLICE gone?

[JT Rock]

I have a question for you Van, dont take this the wrong way either and I'm not trying to take a run at you.It's known that your in the Military and I for one appreciate the fact that you lay your rear end on the line to protect my freedom in the US

But why are you advertising yourself as a "Bonfied Combat Killer" ? I am going out on a limb here and going to speak for the majority on this site and the world, and say you really dont have to validate that to anyone. Any discerning human knows war is a terrible thing but deemed necessary to keep balance and peace, its a dirty job abd someone like yourself has selflessly volunteered to do it.. It just seems like your advocating some sort of prominence for being a killer.

I have family from the Korean war, Vietnam as well as people I worked with from Vietnam, and they dont like to talk about the killing they had to do especially in close quartes hand to hand combat were they have to look that person in the eye, while taking their life... They dont make it known they had to kill, nor do they like to talk about it.

Just asking my friend

Just asking my friend

I'm an ex-soldier - British Parachute Regiment (like some of the other guys on here). Only 3 years, but saw some service in Northern Ireland, Belize, Yeman and some other places. sat around on my arse in lots of other places with nothing happening too

I wouldn't be putting 'Bonafide combat killer' as an internet tag line, but maybe that's just me.

It's a good question ....... not having any sort of criticism to anyone, but I have been wondering that for a while too. Who are you joined up with Van?

[VictorCharlie]

JT I understand the question but to be honest I'm not going to discuss this on an internet forum. Take the tag for what you want but you've never heard me brag about taking human life...ever

Fair enough dude

I guess I'm just curious as to if you didn't want to discuss it on the internet, why did you make you tag say that? I'm not trying to be a dick, just trying to understand the logic.

[VictorCharlie]

Killer, honestly I don't really feel that I have to explain myself on an internet forum in regards to what I do for a living. The tag is a statement about part of who I am. A good infantryman must embrace his job. To much depends on myself and my soldiers not wavering at a critical moment in combat. Embracing means coming to terms with using lethal force. Each of us deals with it in different ways. Would you stop a Marine in public and ask him about his "Born to Kill" tattoo? As I've said I've never bragged about taking human life. I'm proud of my profession and I'm proud to be a combat Infantryman. So in a sense I'm proud to be a "Bonafide Combat Killer". I apologize if this offends anyone but I think they need to get over it. Now can we get back to the MMA forum.

I bare no ill will towards Kimbo, but I never really thought much of the guy skill wise and was tired of hearing about him with so much fanfare from mma promotions and uneducated fans. I applaud his gracious defeat but I have to say I'm glad the media will now promote him as he should have been from the start.

I'll let this drop, but I have asked an ex-Marine about a Born to Kill tattoo as luck may have it. He said it didn't mean anything anymore, but it made sense when he was in the corps. Also, I apologize if you take offense for exercising the right you are defending.

Anywho, Kimbo could have a great career doing four round boxing matches like Butterbean.

[JT Rock]

I'll let it go after this last point

Its like going to your Surgeon... He dosent have a sign on his door that says "Bonafied operating genius"

Some things go without saying dude... It's only been brought up because there was quite a few who mentioned it and were perplexed, just looks like it suggests prominence of some sort,like a sense of pride..

We dont see what you do and you may have to have a certain edge or persona to you ,so your able to survive and keep it together I dont know

I for one have expressed gratitude over your great sacrafice and mean it from the bottom of my heart, the closest I'll ever come is being a coast guard reservist and that certainly pales in comparison to the specialization of what you do...

But from a civilian standpoint, your tag is pretty loud in its suggestions.. thats all

humm... Butterbean had a correct Chin but Kimbo's highly suspect on that behalf.... don't you think it would get him ko'ed way too often, especially as he's more of a rugged street brawler?
