Completely relate. It's frustrating watching someone LARP something you take pride in. Absolutely nothing wrong with disliking the guy for his actions. And hell, you can still not like him for this, with the knowledge he's not really in the wrong. This time.

V2V Respect.

Tradition sure. Most people don't. But they most assuredly can and do. I speak as the person who had to give a death by power point to my company due to a soldier in our unit getting into a scuffle with a civi that saluted during reveille and as per tradition PowerPoint/education based on history and regulations was the answer for preventive measures.

The only reason I even spoke to this now is the "stolen valor" aspect you presented initially and to inform the rest of the people that feel this is awkward for just anyone to do.

The truly awkward part is the way most do the "military" salute wrong. American or otherwise. I'd say it's a tell tell sign of them not being in the military but there are plenty of soldiers that don't do it correctly either so :shrug:

So misinformed. Civilians absolutely can and do salute. They have since the beginning of time. It is a sign of respect and acknowledgement. Whether a full fledged "military" style salute or a hand wave like the royals and civilians do or a tip of the hat like "cowboys" do. There is no implied "stolen valor" if a civilian wants to salute another civilian or a person in the military or of high position.

And of course you can choose not to salute like I assume you do.

Edit: this in no way should imply I support the people in this article. Just stating facts

Every damned spreadsheet should have the header locked so that you can quickly know what you are looking at after row 25. You can't change my mind.

Ahhh gotcha.. didn't put two n two together with the Quest.. duh

Can you explain what you mean by connected directly?

I use a Scanner Radio (Android) app for "emergency" events. Duno if iPhone has an app like it.

For actual news local radio or OTA but I rarely tune in.

This methodology came about after being annoyed stressed out and fed up with the way things are going. Everyone blames they want change but 1 out of 3.35 milare willing to attempt to make a change. Not fully saying violence is the way but it sure seems like it worked for the rich and powerful.

None of the parties align with my views and I'm tired of pretending that they do. So I don't.

Can you shoot? Can you move? Can you communicate?

Then who the fuck cares who you prefer to be involved with!? Especially when a lot of soldiers/officers seem to like to be with other people's wives/husbands!

Great to know. Next build will be steam is was wondering if there was something that would allow me to continue to use what I have already. Thanks!

Feel like there should be legislation that required companies the sunset support for recently released hardware they should be required to release the software to the open community.
