No, I'm pretty sure I found the right one, thanks.
Fuji might be right..............lets work through it together.
1) Fuji thinks I've "drunk the Pashtunwali Kool-aid". I'm not 100% sure what he's trying to get at, but I freely admit I admire and respect the Afghan people and the Pashtunwali code. And I think I've got WAYYYYYYYYYY more knowledge & experience with Pashtunwali (henceforth to be "P-wal") than most people; averaged about 9months/year for about 8 years straight in A-stan.
2) Fuji thinks he's somehow pissed me off, or that I am pissed off at him, because he's pointed out that I am knowledgeable in P-wal and have no malice or ill-will towards it. I mean, despite the fact that some Afghans tried to kill my & my buddies, and some Afghans actually did kill some of my buddies, and some Afghans are still trying to kill some of my buddies, and the difficulties in my personal life from so many mulitple deployments (I have new kids with a new "wife" but that doesnt fill the spot my first kids will always hold; of course I was distraught while this was going on, but I understand why my 1st wife did what she did and I can't hold it against her; oh yeah, this is about P-wal). Oddly, despite me having LOTS of reasons to harbour hatred towards the Taliban, I don't (so finally Fuji got something right! Yayyyy!!!). I understand them, I respect them, I fought them, but I don't have any ill-will towards them (that's a condition well documented by dudes like Ben Shalit & Dave Grossman; civilians & remfs (no disrespect) express greater feelings of animosity towards the "enemy" than those dudes actually fighting them!).
3) This is the part where Fuji's "argument" gets weak (as usual). how is it that I'm NOT pissed off at the dudes that tried to kill me, but I AM pissed off that the dude who "pointed out" that I don't hate the dudes that tried to kill me????? I suggest Fuji familiarize himself with Irwin Rommel & "War without Hate" (interesting sidenote: During the 2nd Gulf War, captured Iraqi troopers were reportedly at a loss to understand why American tank crews had pictures of Rommel in their tanks. Didn't the American fight Rommels' Germans in WW2??..........poor ignorant SOB's didn't understand that you don't have to hate the man you're fighting)
I suppose from all this we can conclude that Fuji is as intelligent as an illiterate, uneducated Iraqi tank-jockey. There's really not much that "pisses" me off anymore; there are problems that need resolution, and like the simplest math problem that a 2nd-grader may try, you have to understand it to resolve it. Maybe when Fugi make it to 2nd grade, he'll get it. There's 2 reason why the ladies refer to me as "Mr Cucumber"; 1 is "cool as a cucumber", 2 is my penis (it is very green and very bumpy).
But Fuji, if beleiving that you somehow "pissed me off", by acknowledging my understanding and admiration of P-wal, helps you make it through another sad, lonely night until you can get back on the internet for another round of "winning debates" to fill the massive void in your empty life, then yes, you've "pissed me off" Grrrrrrrr. I am so angry! Arrgggggggg!! Grrrrrrrr............. Congrats Fuji, you're the best!!!!! Just please try to say something intelligent at least once in a while
There might be some interesting stuff in tomorrow's CTC downloads to discuss, but otherwise I'm done with this thread.
