Your reply made me reflect on etymology for a moment. I had thought that the derogatory term "pussy" had a different origin. I wonder if it was this.


I had exactly the same thoughts.


That it was a synecdoche for the fair sex.

I don't care if the order was to wear a pink tutu at the Gay Pride Parade. An order is an order. Don't obey it and you are useless as an officer (and your credibility, btw, is shot) and soldier.

He should have been fired. That's what happens when you disobey direct orders.


You are wrong... Something I remember from boot camp, there are orders that can be and must be disobeyed:

I have a very hard time with this situation and all the B___ S___
about who was or was not responsible for the lack of action taken to even assist these people in any way. - Give them the O.K. to fire that 50 cal. from the roof instead of just using it's laser pointer to paint a target.
Non support of our embassy and it's staff is like letting them invade our country - in fact I understand that is what an embassy is "OUR" country within "Theirs"
Oh well who's turn will it be next if we let these %$#^&$ use that UN treaty to take away our 2nd amendment..
JMHO

Did you READ the link? Wasn't meant to help me. It was to help you clear the fog from your brain. Is this all it is to you, a game?
