Its not an Army of One anymore.... </div></div>
An Army of Officers Nco's and Enlisted it most certainly is not when an admiral and the President push Homosexuals and women into combat units. Enlisted soldiers in combat units have no representation in that situation.
I think the comment about what it does to my business is laughable. I don't care enough about sales to whore myself out and suppress my brother's free speach. He fought for that and if any American, he should be entitled to it whether I agree with it or not.
If the community requires gun industry companies to whore out their identities, opinions, and sensibilities for sales, the community can send their business somewhere else. I'm not anyone's whore, and I've made it clear, I don't own a business because I like to be manipulated like a marionette.
I know a few Rangers and I couldn't see any of them wearing a pink shirt to the SHOT show (a predominantly male trade show). It's an act that should offend a Ranger's sensibilities. If they work for AAC, I'd expect AAC put them up to it, and that's abusive and disrespectful of their backgrounds in my humble opinion.
I find some irony in the fact that in our current military/political situation, here is a woman and two men and the gender roles with respect to the colors of their clothing are reversed at a predominantly male event.
As far as the never ending allegations of racism, I am once again in Iraq helping to facilitate the reconstruction of Iraq. (going on nearly 5 invested years of my life now). If an Iraqi has a problem with me, he can certainly try to kill me any day of the week. On the current trip my friends have been engaged by sniper fire while working with me, and I also have a recent bullet lodged in my ceiling as evidence that intentional or not, this region of the world has an elevated threat level. Terrorism can end a life here just as easily as a display of post soccer game celebratory fire. As far as myself, I will conduct myself with professionalism in so far as I interact with the local Arabs, and I will do everything in my power to help them as I conduct my daily work here. I also appreciate their hospitality with regard to my presence in their country which is what the fact is in today's world. We took their country- we also gave it back, more free than before, and FREE OF CHARGE, despite massive investment of our human and financial capital.
I also am out. I just found myself compelled to post as I'm a little shocked to see people fabricating a breast cancer awareness excuse, defending Rangers wearing pink shirts at gun events, and attacking free speech.
