"It is what it is" - Donald J Trump, in a response to thousands dying each and every day....

CPL Joy Downs Hart - No I am a retired senior manager who analyzes data. Yes, one person that you know is horrible. But, looking at the big picture we are a large country, and there are a lot of deaths with very little attention. This is the 2017 Number of deaths: 2,813,503 Number of deaths for leading causes of death:
Heart disease: 647,457
Cancer: 599,108
Accidents (unintentional injuries): 169,936
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 160,201
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 146,383
Alzheimer’s disease: 121,404
Diabetes: 83,564

CPL Joy Downs Hart - You are probably right on heartless, and looking at the big picture. I do not give into emotion when researching or making decision. To let emotion in can corrupt analysis. I will take your words as a compliment.

CPL Joy Downs Hart - Wow..and you called me heartless. Glad to see you do not care about death stats...even when you called me heartless. Funny.

CPL Joy Downs Hart - Grew up from the bottom of the system and it is ok if you are the only person to give me multiple thumbs down....With no others in the years I have been on RP. It probably hurt your reputation then mine.

Quit calling me a kid when you're acting like a child, it's counter intuitive. Must you get the last word? Do you need some sort of validation? You need some help, that much is true.

When you grow up and quit acting and thinking like a delusional, paranoid juvenile then you will be treated as such. You lie, you are overly aggressive for no valid reason, you twist facts... you think everyone is out to get you from the President down to the very Admins on this site to the members. Point blank you over inflate yourself very, very grossly. You bring the treatment you get, upon yourself, like your over reactions in training that earned you a Letter of Reprimand and yet you blame everything on someone else, never taking personal responsibility for your actions. That is indicative or a person with a personality disorder.

I don't seek or need validation. None of my postings indicates or seeks that. YOURS however, do. Get medical help. You are sick.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs Look at this sad display from a former Airborne Ranger. This Brian Grierson guy shouldn’t even be allowed on this website.

@A1C Jordan Brenner considering you are the one that has lied, gets rabidly defensive at even the slightest criticism and are the very definition of petty and toxic, you have zero room to talk about being allowed here. When you cannot take simple critique from multiple members that are far senior to you in experience and then you escalate things to the point of wanting to meet up in real life and fight all because you don't know when to check your fragile ego. Again, NO ONE is against or after you despite your delusions to the contrary. GET HELP for your mental disorder.

Yeah, total government reform and oversight is necessary at this point.

A1C Jordan Brenner - Most Definitely!

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - We're at the point that we have to "hold the cross roads with a broken tank." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASMu57TDOAE
