Many years battling the forces of Sauran, I've lost count.... fought with the brave men of andor against the orcish hordes.
:jointsmile:
I fought in the Battle of the Pelennor, representing Rohan!
USN, 89-93. Spent the first gulf war hunting imaginary iraqi subs, and when I got home we had a parade. And we deserved it, not one imaginary sub sank a single ship. But seriously I'm glad I enlisted. Got to travel the world, met interesting people, and managened not to kill any of them.
i hate to break it to you, but recently declassified documents show that thirteen imaginary u.s. ships were sunk by imaginary iraqi subs off the coast of slovakia during that time period. though there were no fatalities, several institutionalized schizophrenics set fire to their mattresses in response to the total uselessness of this information.Quote:

I had to break it to you, but slovakia is a land-locked country in central europe which had absolutly nothing to do with either iraq world. Oh shit, I almost missed the joke. Almost:D Good one:thumbsup:Quote:

Shit I was even the Company Honor Graduate in Marine Corps Bootcamp at Parris Island and I am the biggest stoner of all..I got lots of awards...but i still hade my moments, cause I love to fight..even start fights just so I could fight and that cost me rank on more than one occasion...
But I am a punk rocker at heart..they cant brainwash me, I seen their tactics, I enjoyed them..that is what made it such a great experience..would I have killed if I went to war? You bet your ass I would, cause that was my job....and I am really stoned...I only like Peace now...cause I think war is not necesssary...Isnt this the 21st century, we can do better than this.
