>>Being a platoon commander doesn't qualify you as an expert because you haven't led men into battle but you only trained for the Cold War.<<

There you go again, elmat. So now the details of my military career are somehow magically known to you, in addition to everything else.

Well, it's true that I have not had the dubious privilege of engaging in extended urban or jungle warfare, but I have led British paratroopers in the fields of South Armagh, where the casualty rate for infantry companies at that time regularly reached 2% or 3% killed and wounded in a 4 month tour.

You, on the other hand, having had a lengthy career of climbing antennas with a wrench and dissing the people who pay you, have talked to some old German bullshitter and are therefore qualified to make disgusting, xenophobic statements like this:

"Soldiers should be very careful!!! If they are sending emails, making phone call or sending correspondece with news and opinions that the military don't like, they end up being 'suicided'."

To employ a military metaphor, you are the very definition of a "loose cannon."
