    According to the Showpony Dictionary:
    A cynic is just a failed optimist.

    I must be a cynic as I believe “If you're too open-minded; your brains will fall out.”

    Those who boast about their military service are usually the ones most full of sh*t and have the least experience with anything involving any real danger. I worked both as a soldier in Iraq (ATFP) and as a Navy contractor in Afghanistan (EWO).

    This is so vague . I can only assume you sat in a sauna multiple times after a Winged Glider simulation class, and beat up at least one German Midget in a bar fight over a half eaten hot dog!

    That's exactly the kind of reply I would expect from a rear-guard member of the Air Farce - from 200 miles behind the lines with a billiards cue up his butt, looking for his nanny to bring his milk and change his diaper!

    FYI, to name a few - Northern Ireland 1979-80, Falklands 82, 1st Gulf war 1991, Bosnia 1992+, Sierra Leone 2000
