They're liars? Or are you?

Please point out the lie I supposedly made...of course, you cannot. So what exactly does that make you and your insinuation?

Now, I don't know if you are lying about what your boss's son in Mosul told you, or even why you were even in Mosul, but none of the guys I work with are whining about their duty there. On the other hand, I also cannot imagine that anyone carrying an M4 through the streets of Mosul would consider their work anything but difficult and unpleasant. I also find it hard to imagine that contractors would be eager to risk their lives for a few bucks or work in a place that is "a pit"...but when you talk about "the war"...one can only assume you are talking about the "big picture" which would not be what you would get from either group you mentioned. I am sure if you asked the common ground soldier in any war...that he would have felt it was "going like *****" just as the son of your boss reportedly does.
