We used to have this guy on the Cellar, and he was here for a very long time, and after a while we noticed that every time he spoke authoritatively about just about ANY topic, he was completely and totally WRONG.

Practically any fact, any tidbit of passed-along knowledge, was simply INCORRECT. And it became a game with folks who knew what the story was; behind his back we would mention how wrong he consistently was, and we would take notice of it with every new post containing allegedly factual information.

He was a nice guy, and I agreed with many of his opinions. But for some reason he always had to spout a big steaming pile of false into every thread.

Mari,

Point us to one news story with someone purposefully shooting themselves in the hand or foot to avoid going to Iraq. Post a link to a story which explains the new deployment.

Don't just post a snarky reply. That is easy to do, but accomplishes nothing. Instead, for once, post some external proof that what you have said is correct. Not just the name of some person who would not lie to you. I want to see a story in a reputable newspaper that backs up your information on deployment. This is the Internet, and you should be able to find such a thing. It would be a pretty big story in military towns, so some decent Googling should locate something.

And then you can tell us -- please, do tell us -- which regular army takes narcoleptics and people with major heart conditions. And provide some proof of that too.
