Actually, since no one has been listening, Obama toned down the rhetoric months ago. But Republicans are such ******* racist and uneducated idiots, they only see what they want when it comes to Obama. He could cure cancer and the GOP would call it a socialist and communist Muslim plot.
Not just you
OK, got a true story related to this.
When I was stationed in Germany, the company commander volunteered the company to do firing range monitoring in Wildflicken (sp?) and it pissed off a lot of people and there were unkind words about our company commander over heard from various lower ranking folks. This outraged our First Looey, so he got a chip on his shoulder through the whole thing, touchy, overly sensitive, etc. He even made Top come to attention to address him while we were in the barracks, and I did not ever see such a thing ever again. Dont know how he got away with that. No one locks Tops heels, which is why he is nicknamed Top.
Anyway, so we were bivouacked out in these pitch black night time woods and we had those old helmets that had a plastic liner inside a steel pot.
So, the Looey thought he over heard some bad mouthing and he flew into a shouting rage, as I recall. He shut up all the NCOs that were there and yelled a challenge to anyone that wanted to have a go with him. I am not kidding.
Well, no one took him up on the offer, obviously, but the next day the Looey was walking around and occasionally stopping and asking people if they could smell that smell. At first no one seemed to know what he was talking about, then it hit; there was a distinct odor of fecal material around the Looey. But no one would admit that they could smell it. This went on for days with the Looey asking if anyone could smell anything and everyone saying no, but laughing when the Looey was out of hearing range.
Then late at night a few days later,an overwhelming beam of bright white light broke light protocol in that black forest and the Looey screamed out, 'I will get you for this! Whoever did this; I will find out who you are and I will nail you for this! You are dead!' Then the flap closed and all was pitch black again. Well, everyone guessed that the Looey found the source of his aroma, but I didnt find out what it was until the net morning.
Someone had snuck the Looey's helmet out of the command cadre's tent, took the plastic liner out of the steal pot, took a dump in the pot, then put the liner back in. It drove the Looey crazy when he found out what it was, but then he was a dick and deserved it, IMHO.
An officer should never provoke his troops. Some of them have been in the Army a lot longer and know how to **** anyone over in a million ways.
