Dear mnrvovrfc (is the only way I can refer to you), I have been a soldier part of my life and I NEVER will make jokes about soldiers. No matter if we speak of US soldiers, spanish soldiers of whatever country soldiers, all of them deserve my respect and admiration.

I'm sorry if any portion of my posting offended you or anybody else on this forum. I was a teenager while "A-Team" series fired up and was rather ignorant about it. Some of it was funny, though. I had also watched "Mr. T" cartoon series but that was a bit lame, like he was the best drawn there LOL.

hannibal_leckter you picked a portion of a name that is respected in world history. A virtuous man he was indeed but the side he was on wasn't virtuous. The Romans weren't destined to be defeated by any force that went against them, they were destined to be defeated by being stagnant and by having disorder from inside, after they wasted other stagnant and disordered people. I liked Hannibal's story, except when he got tired of fighting the Romans and killed himself.

The main aspect of "Beetle Bailey" was what prevented me from enjoying it. Some contempt for authority is what it looked like. Such a lazy soldier should have never been a soldier! I was glad I saw a cartoon shown somewhere else (with apologies written to the original author of the strip) of Bailey being kicked out of an army recruiter's office. There was more... but this was in a book that I bought while Mr. Clinton was president of the U.S.A. and I don't want to get into detail about the rest of it.

For the most part on Internet, I came across persons who used English as second language and were polite, were fun to talk to for a short time. So when I joined a forum and came across an Asian dude who was darned rude, only because I posted in one of his topics, and he kept opening topics with stupid questions that nobody answered, largely because the forum population was about as small as this one, it surprised me very much. I still think of that as an exception.

One more thing: Pete sometimes says things which are off the wall and makes people laugh, but he doesn't mean to offend. He calls me "mn" and stuff like that but I let it slide. Don't feel bad by something written here that looks like an insult from far away. Sadly, any impersonal posting forum that you could join like this one would have at least one person that cannot hold back writing something that maybe shouldn't be posted.
