I think CowboyUp loves this country

[N. Pappagiorgio]

No matter who the president is. Genuinely interested in winning regardless of political affiliation.

He is right wing compared to davidallen and sys.

I think CUP is a democrat, DA is a democratic socialist, and sys is a liberal.

Oh, and pilt is a commie.

 

[CowboyUp]

Oh I love my country!
I passed the physical.
Truman's funeral (gov holiday--Nat'l Day of Mourning) was the day I was to be inducted. Then Nixon canceled the draft two weeks later and excused the last group--mine.
I was expecting--ready, willing and able-- to be sent to Nam.
God Bless USA!

He is on meds don't forget his previous 2500 posts.

Good for you. And glad you got excused.

To be honest,nothing has pissed me off more in 20 years of posting on OSU boards. But it's water under the bridge now. He needed a break from this board as to his credit he took a self imposed one.

You just lost masculinity. Part of our male attribute that separates us from the more gentle sex is hanging into grudges for unreasonable amounts of time.

I don't like people my dad didn't like in the seventies.

It's 2017 for crying out loud. I'm a sensitive male.

Most men usually/eventually get over grudges--usually without direct apologies. Had a great conversation about this last March over drinks in Austin with a great friend of mine--originally from Tulsa--who retired recently as CEO of the largest family owned off-shore drilling operation in the world. We each could only name one individual in our lifetimes we just couldn't bury the hatchet with and both involved questions of attacks on our honor and his was also a betrayal. Mine was with a longtime friend of mine who I had hunted with, golfed with, and rode the trail with to many places. He said some stuff about me and my family in a series of drunken emails --impugning our patriotism--that I just couldn't stomach/forget/forgive and still can't get over. Remarks and personal attacks from outsiders (I.e. Message boards )--not problem enough for an unforgivable grudge. I've got a thick hide. But someone you've rode the trail with--bridge too far. Other than that--most men eventually bury the hatchet and light up the peace pipe!

Porky?

No not Porky--or anyone on these boards. I have no grudge against Porky. I could say many positive things about Porky. So could many others. When he's right--the man might be the most entertaining poster I've seen in 20 years on these boards. He loves America, loves OSU. He personifies the American bootstrap story.

That being said it doesn't mean those of us who don't agree with his politics/religion/football are any less patriotic, or don't love our God and country and OSU just as much as he does.

Doesn't mean when he goes of on a nonsensical rant--in full spew attack mode--that his tripe goes unchallenged.

Same with any of us, myself included, grudges be damned.

Code of the West and these boards.

Refreshing. I'm willing to take this at face value. Welcome back.

Dong--
I've been on these boards for years, never checking the PM, didn't really even know it existed.
Until the other day, trying to give away some tickets, where I saw you had left a condolence message about my Dad.
I want to say thank you for that. It means a lot to me. I know you and I haven't seen much the same way.
Anyway, thank you, Sir.

Not a problem. More important things in life than politics and sports.

Get a ****ing room! What's next syskatine turns into a human on a personal level??? David Allen has a witty rapport and is treated like someone with a different set of beliefs instead of a two headed liberal freak?

Good thing pilt still sucks.

I'm glad President Nixon got rid of the draft. Up, if I have ever been rude or sarcastic to you on this board please forgive me. I apologize. Thank you for the service you were more than willing to give this country in a time of war.

I'm dead. I've gone to hell. its like my taste buds and dick have been taken away and pleasure will have to be redefined or pursued in a less than satisfying way.

Guns I appreciate that comment a hell of a lot. No doubt in my mind just about everyone on this board not members of the military would have stepped up if drafted. I always wondered how my life would have been different if HST had died on a different day. If I had survived Nam (or not been deployed over there) no doubt military service would have been good for me. As a 19-year old I was f--ked up cocky mofo in a lot of ways and could have benefitted from a boot in the ass...

 

[OKSTATE1]

@CowboyUp,[COLOR=#000000] I appreciate your support of our military. I was 7 in 1968 for a refernence point. I watched the news over the years and it became painfully obvious to me we were not doing everything we could to win the war. I remember counting down the years in terms of how long I had to be in the draft and hoping when it was my turn the country was committed to winning it.

One thing I do believe about our troops going to war, they need to go with our total support regardless if you believe it is a just war. We need to have the finest military in the country, the best trained, and the best equipment and technology. We need to go every time with overwhelming force with the thought of ending the war as soon as possible.
Commiting our troops to fight and to possibly die - they deserve nothing less than to know our country is doing everything it can to allow them to survive, anything else to me seems immoral. Either go all in, or do not go. My dad would have not survived WWII if not for dropping the bomb, he had completed parachute training and plans were being made to invade Japan.

I also believe when our troops come home they deserve excellent medical care, including mental health.

I knew a couple of people that fought in Vietnam Cup, one was my neighbor and he was older than me obviously and it really messed him up, took the glitter of life out of his eye and he withdrew from life. The other was someone who worked for me and he reminded me of my dad, the war haunted him from time to time. None of my business but I think you were blessed to not have been sent.

Dad told me alot about fighting in the Phillipines......the Geneva convention means nothing, kill or be killed. No one should have to deal with war, it is the worst part of mankind, but I understand at times it can not be avoided and hopefully our country will always be a place worth sacrificing our life for.[/COLOR]

 

[AC_Exotic]

Even though we sometimes disagree, I find CowboyUp's optimism and patriotism endearing.

He's right, in the end we're all Americans.

Great post 1--thanks for sharing. Mind-blowing to think how many of you and our fellow Americans would likely not be here today were it not for HST decision to drop the bomb and end WWII.

Your Dad was a hero like so many of his generation for stepping up to serve America.

Vietnam was entirely different beast. It screwed up so many. You're right I was blessed not to have been inducted. But if I had avoided death or injury in Nam, military service might have been a positive for me.

One of my closest buddies here in Austin is David Parks, a Purple Heart recipient in Vietnam ( he still has shrapnel working out of his eye socket) and author of GI Diary. The Kansas PBS affiliate interviewed him recently (he trained at Fort Riley). It runs 43 minutes but worth the listen for a soldier's perspective of Vietnam.
