Your all incredibly kind.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its come to my attention; from all the calls, e-mails and pms, J that people are talking shit about me on the internet again.
Thank you, and
Fuck em.
Im over all that crap. At first, I was concerned about it
.not all of it, its true that I have lived an interesting life up to this point. One of the things ive done is gone to prison. Ive never been ashamed of the fact. ive often felt bad for the impact it had on the people I love, but ive never been ashamed of having gone. What I was worried about was that I was being called dishonorable.
That I had soiled the 75th Infantry Regiment by stating that I served there while in the Army.
I have dissolved that worry, the parties concerned know my history and are satisfied.
Some people may wonder how I can say im Honorable, when ive been convicted of a felony. My answer is simple: Honor is something we hold inside, it is ours to keep and cherish. Not yours to hold above us and try to remove. My loyalty is to my Country, my Family, Friends, Teammates and Sworn Oaths. My honor is upheld by serving these loyalties, not in the consequences of doing so.
I have no issues with people who want to talk shit about me on an internet forum. Thats what people do. Talk about stuff on forums. Here we all are
.i certainly find it funny that they amuse themselves by calling me dishonorable, while they shout nasty things about me anonymously over the internet
but truly
who cares?
Its not real. Those people will never come up and say anything in actual REAL life. They arent that kind of people. They have not lived experiences like mine. They only do that in their internet life, while training to be a cage fighter.
The problem is that they want to shout. The truth is not actually an issue, what is important is to shout the loudest. Ive seen the shouting the loudest contest a million times in prison, it never fires off
..shouting loud is a cowards game, this is just the geek version. It goes like this:
Shout of injustice = Micks a liar, he was never a Ranger!
Voice of reason = well
regardless of how you feel about mick, he did actually serve in the 2nd Ranger Battalion
a fun game of which you have to be a Ranger to play
.sorry, not every one who gets a team jacket is a super hero
even the water boy (AB) is a Ranger. Graduated black and blue instead of Black and Gold
.still counts
lick my sack.
Shout of injustice = No REAL Operators use Striders!
Voice of reason = Well
actually, we have sold roughly 5000 knives via contract to Uncle Sam, not to mention private and unit sales
.so really they do.
Shout of injustice = NO! my friend has an uncle who was a SEAL in Vietnam and he says that isnt true!!!
Voice of reason = um
..but see, right here
.they paid and everything. I wonder what they did with all those knives
.if the REAL Operators didnt get them
.
Then again there was a lot of hair on the check
..it may have well been the Bigfoot Rangers
.does that still count?
Its the Special Olympics
.try and pick out Jeffy.
when the fuck did we get ice cream?
you remember getting ice cream?
So then
.
Your all awesome, thank you VERY much for your concern. But in the end, I cant make knives fast enough to fill orders
.and THEY have time to copy our gear and talk shit
.i wonder how many more hits they have on their web page since they used the old Strider lure
.
My kids are happy and healthy, I still have both parents, I have a shit load of incredible friends
.and my personal enemies hide in the internet.
Let em talk about me
.better me than someone who cares.
