Hi Bilow,

Re: I never said or implied that the Zulus were "illogical",
Neither did I. illogical, fanatical, muslim radicals

ps Sorry, but this afternoon, I was a little distracted by the failure of Dr J and the rest of the QCOM leadership to adequately prepare the public for their 4th quarter report.....I failed to realize that you could take offense at what I said. I should have re-read my post before launching it....
I see, applaud and honor your SF fanaticism and I match it, no, I trump it with the warrior ethos of the United States Marine since 1775...but for us to get into an internecine war on this thread would be out of line. I would consider it a waste of time, but if you wish to pursue it, feel free to address me privately, thank you.....jj

If you want to see fanaticism, just hang out at the local Special Forces watering hole. Or look through this list of US Medal of Honor winners:

bilow
come on down and tell us about it!!!
i'll leave the light on for ya.

i have spent 39 years and 9 months at that watering hole and ain't seen no fanatics yet...just a bunch of dedicated, hard working guys willing to take a bit of risk...could be in any start up corporation and many end up doing just that and do well there too.

stating that our Medal of Honor winners are fanatical is too too much. i have worked with, or been friends with several guys on that list...

Frank Miller (died recently at ft bragg...brain cancer probably munition exposure related)
Jon Caviani...retired in california
Charlie Williams...killed in action
Roy Benevidez...died recently in texas
Scarface Myers (korea)..retired and active in the Special Forces Assn.

you have a lot of nerve denigrating all of these brave and honorable men...tell us about your contributions to America.
