Ack! Not a bloody one of us was there! Some of us however have studied ballistics, either as amateur enthusiasts or as professionals or have practical experience in either of the two above categories. It seems that every one in the four groups that I've mentioned agree that Oleg (A man who falls under all four categories throughout his career) is pretty much spot on.
What the Hell is the argument?! If you don't know about a subject, just bloody well give the argument to the one who does like a damn adult and move on. /rant off |

I assume it is the same world wide as it is here, but in Australia it is considered extremely low and disrespectful to try to pass ones self off as a serviceman (either ex or currently serving) or falsify a service history. Even when marching in place of an old or infirmed serviceman there is a strict etiquette involved in wearing the service medals. If you wear the medals on the left you are claiming them as your own as opposed to wearing them on the right which signifies that you are honouring the holder of the medals by standing in for them. (Different countries /cultures will have different forms of etiquitte regarding this.) If Phillip is an ex-service man I cannot think of a reason why he would not be proud of his service history and there would be a lot of people here (myself included) who would hang off every word of his personal experiences. I can't think of one of the veterans I know that couldn't rattle off their service number, hey some of them even greet each other with it! Maybe Phillip meant that he has 'flown' in BoB WOV or some other simulation - bad wording on his part. Maybe it was a joke - if it was it was in bad taste, ignorant or disrespectful of the men who were involved in the battle. Who knows? Considering that this was the first time it was mentioned after a long time on the board I don't think it is unreasonable to ask for some further details to backup a statement like that. Well that was my two bob's worth! Cheers! Last edited by Skoshi Tiger; 10-31-2010 at 02:17 AM. |

Don't be such a drama queen ST, people get falsely offended so easily these days and all it does is make life unbearable. I assume you've never watched an episode of Dad's Army? |
