RPKESQ: Your education comes up constantly because of your propensity for telling people they're wrong on a wide variety of subjects then tossing out your degree as soon as you're questioned.
In order to tell someone they don't know what they're talking about in a wide variety of subjects, you are implying that you DO know what you're talking about in that same wide variety of subjects...
What's more,
rarely will you see people throw around their degrees here if told to "prove it."
No, instead, they just simply lay out their argument based on whatever they perceive the facts to be and usually back it with links. It takes a special kind of douche to start babbling on about "I have an advanced degree and you're wrong!" on a message board and expect people to just take your word for it. Your debate skills suck, which is IMO why you always toss your degree out there.
There are several people on this forum that have seen you in action time and time again and flat out
do not like you because of exactly this sort of crap. And seriously, shouldn't a guy that claims to have 3 degrees be able to figure out how the damn quote function here works?
As far as my screen name, on any military forum you will see tons of posters with screen names that relate to their former MOS.
Names like "Sky soldier", "EOD man", "Officer of Engineers", "Bradley TC", "M60dude", "Viper driver", "Phantom fixer" or whatever else are par for the course, be they tankers, pilots, EOD, Engineers, whatever.
This is very common practice on military forums, just as it is very common practice to use car based names on car forums, or music forums etc, etc, etc. Unit or branch patches/insignia are also commonly used as avatars by guys on said military forums.
FOR INSTANCE: Your signature is the motto of the British SAS. Let me guess...you were in the SAS too?
I've been using this screen name since 2000 on a variety of boards, including the large military board i have ran for 6 years plus now.
Personally, i'm glad you don't like it.
One thing that i have never seen a 'real' troop do is be evasive about his MOS before. Just doesn't happen. I've also never met a far left 'operator' who openly speaks bad about his former country and it's people from the comfort of France either, but that is another story.
I personally think you are full of crap in every way it is possible to be full of crap. Which is probably why you're on so many people's ignore list.
And now you can add mine to the list too.
PS: My last post was not emotional, it was openly mocking. There is a vast difference. If you think i'm getting 'emotional' in any of these posts than you are making the extremely common internet/IM/email error of misjudging the tone in which the post you are reading was intended/made. Caps/italics/bold do not equate to emotion, but rather to emphasis.

How sporting would it be to shoot these bears?

Not very based on that picture.
Be careful up there man.
