WE FIGHT FOR FREEDOM but have none

Hi Justin,This chapter has puzzled many. The point seems merely to be that the king should be above this fondness for sword-fighting.Sorry, but thats all I can really offer.

The Leader I was going to reply to MrSmiley's post, but it was so ridiculous I just assumed that he was joking. :/

Tadao It's like saying "I smoke because it makes me look cool"

Personally, I smoke because I like it and I'm addicted. I smoke what gives me the best nicotine to taste ratio. Drum is my favorite. Buying a brand because it represents something is one of the reasons this nation of ours is in such a bad state.

I'm no soldier, but I smoke these things out of respect for every veteran in every war.
I hate you.

The irony is now, convicts trade cigarettes to avoid a hot dog.

Maybe you should go the other way and donate money to the Yellow Ribbon Fund?

Zippos have stopped enemy bullets before, so I can only hope I can give him something potentially useful.
Hopefully, his flak jacket will take care of that for him.

Oh, and just so everyone knows, soldiers are so fit that smoking doesn't even really matter.
That is a dumb, stupid thing to say.

Tadao That's stupid, don't be stupid.

lovely09 I guess they were just trying to make the soldiers as healthy as they can be or make them focus in times of battle.I don't think soldiers will have time to smoke if their whole environment is in war.

Don't they give soldiers little syrettes of morphine? Or is that just the medics? If so, definitely make friends with the medics.


Anyway, there was a news story in my local paper a few days after this thread was started saying that noone would be pursuing this policy.

VaporTrailx1 Wait till the corporations start their own armies. That's when the real fun'll start. Microsoft will have the SkyNET HK's and shit.

Fathom Zero Join a paramilitary. Shop around for your brand of war. If you don't like the Army's contract, there'll probably be someone else that'll take a smoker.

I suggest a Draft. Kinda like the NFL draft.
Jul 23rd, 2009 11:15 PM
Dimnos Not while actually in a gun fight.
Jul 23rd, 2009 11:04 PM
Tadao Smoking while in a gunfight? You might as well wear a target and jump up and down.
Jul 23rd, 2009 11:02 PM
VaporTrailx1 The army without cigs would be like the Russian navy without vodka.

VaporTrailx1 so anyone who signed before the bill passes should be grandfathered in. good way to piss off the FNGs lol
Jul 22nd, 2009 07:14 PM
kahljorn BOTH SIDES HAVE VALID POINTS, BUT ULTIMATELY SIGNING SHIT DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING UNLESS BACKED BY A COERCIVE FORCE AND EVEN THEN IT DOESNT REALLY MEAN ANYTHING ESPECIALLY IF ITS MAKING DEMANDS THAT ARE TOO HIGH TO PAY.
ALSO YOU COULD SAY AT THE TIME OF SIGNING SMOKING WAS ALLOWED SO THEY ARE JUST CHANGING THE CONTRACT STUFF I DUNNO WHO CARES.
Jul 20th, 2009 03:16 PM
Fathom Zero 'Tis true, really.

People bitch and moan all they want, but they're the ones that signed themselves up to be a meat puppet for their country to do as they see fit with 'em.
Jul 20th, 2009 01:54 PM
Tadao If they joined the forces they sre not allowed to decide for themselves.
Jul 20th, 2009 01:43 PM
Dimnos If they are old enough to fight and die for our country they are old enough to decide for themselves if they want to smoke or not.
Jul 20th, 2009 01:37 PM
VaporTrailx1 Us smokers tried to be nice. But it's never enough is it?
