Keep it above the belt, mate No need to lower yourself. Just move on to another topic and stay happy. Lots of love :love: Lucy
Just responding and clarifying shooto's misinterpretation of the flyer. See page 6, post 83. --Rafael--
Fair enough, but I am pretty sure Shootodog was not making any bad comments, he was just asking a simple question. From what I know of Shootodog, he respects both the Sayoc and PTK people. As a matter of fact he like many of us respect all of those who have a love of the FMA as a whole. As I said, I am sure it was just a case of wires getting crossed mate. Best regards Pat
And from what I gather Salami has been banned for the comments he has made. And rightly so. Best regards Pat
Well it looks like the the guy who questioned Marshall's work has had some of his research questioned as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hackworth#Controversy
If that weapon is my handgun, I already have it ready, and they're over 10 yards away, that's the only kind of knife fight I'd like to be in.
Somebody who wanted to drag Colonel David Hackworth's name through the mud, it looks like. Hackworth was always a straight shooter and had a pair that were cannonball-sized. There's no doubting Hack was a bad mother. RIP Colonel.
Thanks for hanging that one out like a big pinata. Wikepedia's not exactly the accuracy police, since anyone can edit in and edit out any point of view that suits their agenda. Hackworth threatened to sue the news agency that questioned his honesty, and received a letter of apology from the same news agency, quoted on the Wikipedia article that you reference, that absolved him completely. It's well known that Hackworth and Marshall had a falling out and that Hackworth made clear why this happened. Hackworth's recounting has been questioned by Marshall's grandson in a book, but here again, the issue is not whether someone remembers Marshall or Hackworth differently, but whether (1) Marshall actually did the research for which he received credit, and (2) whether his conclusions with respect to how often infantry soldiers actually engage the enemy bear any weight. Whether you agreed with him or not, Hackworth always said what was on his mind and stood by it - and he was willing to suffer for the courage of his convictions. To suggest that Hackworth's research has been "questioned" doesn't really begin to say anything. Best, Steve
