Hi David how are you?
-unprofessional crap-
Really, LT?
I'm all for the super-hooah appeal to the professional expertise, especially in light of David's ignorance and continual insistence otherwise, but that was just petty, unbecoming, and downright irrelevant.
David is wrong on the grounds of his poor argument- not because he's not airborn, and not because you are. Trying pull it out for an internet dick waving contest with people who don't know better is not how you go about representing your soldiers if you intend to present yourself as the military professional.
Either stop presenting yourself as an officer, or start acting like one.
Buddy, all my images are cleared. Nothing violates OPSEC or PERSEC. There's nothing incriminating or damaging in any of my images. And one has even been posted in the Army Times. They're all cleared. And I did this more in defence of my own credibility at David's rather rude challenging. And furthermore, perhaps using the images was a bit of a heated break. But nothing here was in an unprofessional manner. All were images that I've posted before.
If OPSEC were the concern, I'd (privately) call you out for OPSEC- it's not like you're claiming to be military intelligence and posting your picture across the internet or anything. That would be a stupid security violation. I'm challenging you on how you're conducting yourself, which amounted to a 'hey here's proof I'm better than you'll ever be, neenerneener.'
Your credibility wasn't insulted, and even if it was your service history is irrelevant. You were executing an argument from authority fallacy, and boorishly at that.
I would like to know your past though with service.
I might tell you some other time, but it would be really missing the point now.
