.... Huh? Wait, so all this time we've been talking about the USMC, you weren't talking about the USMC????

Hrm, that contradicts what every Marine I've ever talked to has told me--and I've known a good share. The general consensus has been that the Corps is usually the most reluctant to pull out. As one recruiter told me a long time ago, "The Army will go into one engagement with three ways out; the Corps will go into three engagements with one way out." A friend and family member of mine who is a Colonel in the Marine Corps as much as told me that Marines don't withdraw until they absolutely have to. Real evidence of this is Hanoi, Vietnam, when Marines (iirc) were the last American troops to leave.

Of course, anyone who has gunship support and are able to use it is going to--that saves the lives your people while depleting the enemy. However, using indirect fire support on a city is a general policy; exceptions being cases where the whole idea is to level the city as was arguably the case in Fallujah.

I think you missed my point.

I never asked him, personally. And that could well be the case. It doesn't change that fact that my mother was beating up on guys twice her size when she was a teenager because of what and how my grand-dad taught her and her siblings. From what she's told me, they never did any kind of regular lessons for long periods of time--he would just pull them aside, show them something, and tell them to go practice it on their time.

I never said anything about speed or agression. I was talking about training for variables. A boxer trains under the assumption that there will be no variables in a fight: his opponent won't suddenly pull a knife, he won't step on a rock and fall over, he won't have a second opponent appear out of nowhere, etc. A soldier, regardless of nation or branch, does train for that. Hell, *I* train for that at my school! Not that I would say I could beat up a professional boxer at this point, but I definitely have more faith in my training than in his!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ha That's why your country is so strong, right? AAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Okay, that last long post actually made sense.

My point the whole time was the difference that training makes, though. As a better example than the one that spawned this whole argument, I would sooner put money on a professional MMA fighter than on a professional boxer. Again, the MMA guy has been trained for a wider array of situations and will likely adapt faster to changing circumstances.

There's also the matter of how hard the individual trains. A pansy MMA fighter who only does it for something to do is NOT going to beat out a hard-ass boxer who's been training passionately for "that one moment" his entire life.

My. Isn't that lovely?

You are aware that there are over-sensitive people here who will lose their heads over this, and normal people who will tell you to take that shit (no pun intended) somewhere else, after flaming you?

I think he was responding to the spammer that posted [now deleted] porn on this thread.

It's said that people say/do things over the internet that they probably wouldn't do in real life.
I think aggravating people who are capable of sweeping the floor with you is a good example of exactly this. :rolleyes:

To Me i would say kung fu and then Aikido and taekwondo and Then regular karate.

The last and not least Jujitsu . Which was what the samurai used against each other for quick kills during the waring era in japan :vsign: :D

Well, I did, but I guess it didn't quite come through.

In any case, we seem to agree on this one, so that's progress XD .

Very sick illustrated image containing lots of nudity and shite posted by a troll/spammer. Trust me, you're better off having missed it @_@;

Well the kung fu for teaches you to wait and sharpens the mind and takes dedication to master.

good for the mind and keeps ya in shape and also helps with focus and it can be keep me busy so i do not go out and do something dumb

Plus the movements are quite graceful and teaches disiplen and so on
But i would not use it for show boating plus use it to earn money as well .


not for hurting people and get knowledge from it.

Thats why and i am not tryin to sound stupid. but loyalty can be a good thing i suppose . Thats the way i see it :vsign:
