LMAO.....You only respect people in the military huh. Thats the most ignorant thing i have ever heard in my entire life. Youre telling me no one except people in the military work hard????? PLEASE! I busted my *** in HS, bought a car. busted my *** in school. got Most outstanding student in automotive class, decided to keep going. Now im an SVT/ FORD specialist tech, and 2 classes away from being a Toyota Master Tech. OK. thats hardwork ****er! I still bust my *** everyday at work, making money and buying what i want... BECAUSE i never got things handed to me from my parents. So PLEASE rephrase that you just said, into. I ONLY RESPECT PEOPLE WHO WORK HARD FOR WHAT THEY WANT...

Take it easy, man. Im sure he didnt mean to offend.

completely misunderstood

when i said scarifice and hardwork, they tend to have to scarifice the most out of anyone in a society, for example, take american troops in Iraq theyre giving the ultimate scarifice to keep iraq from blowing up and becoming even more volitaile, not that other people hadnt had to work hard and scarifice, **** i worked my *** off in school and got a full ride to texas A&M, but i had to scarifice that to do my duty to the german military, not that you didnt scarifice but im just saying that people in the military, imo, give up the greatest scarifice for the protection of their society

not to mention i feel "closer" to people who have served in the military because its easier to associate with them, and a greater part of my respect goes to them because only soldier can really understand soldiers its like a brother/sisterhood, you depend on one another, they become your family

edit: and yes i do also give a large respect to those who have worked for what they have, basically i respect two type of people 1) mili and 2) hard workers

Completly understood. But when you said the "only" people you have respect for. Well.... you know what i mean.

And the word "respect" goes along way in an Italian family.

Towley, where were you at in Germany. Kinda sounds like you're a young soldier gettin back from that first tour. I can bet you did that trip to the sandbox also.
I was in Wildflecken, WAY back in the day. Most people nowadays, don't even know about that place.
BTW, I like your avatar...cool.
