Sturgeon Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Remember General Robert Scales? Way back when, I wrote an article - which wasn't my finest work but certainly attained the highest comment count of anything I've ever written - debunking a hit piece he wrote attacking the M4 Carbine.Well, now the Russian Investigative Committee has begun a criminal case against General Scales, since he called for the wholesale killing of Russians as a solution to the Crimean conflict earlier this week.When I originally wrote my rebuttal, I didn't know that General Scales was the author - ever since the Tom Kratman episode (which had a tone that was easily misinterpreted as denigrating his service - actually, it was intended to be the opposite), I have made a point only to address the content of a work, not the author - I deliberately didn't even look at the name of the author of the The Atlantic piece.Afterward, I found out I had publicly erm, scuffled with a certain General Scales, which felt to me a bit like a squirrel picking a fight with a bear. Nothing ever came of it, but I still felt a little silly for doing so.Not so much anymore, since this most recent development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donward Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Wholesale killing of Russians is silly since we need to keep some to work the wheat fields and be used as mail order brides.... I mean... How Terrible! Jeeps_Guns_Tanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostCosmonaut Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Wait, that's a crime? Man, think of the GD posters we can sue! If those GD posters quote something you previously said, remember that you can sue them for slander. Sturgeon and Khand-e 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
