Default Umm, excuse me??

Three people have inferred I changed this story.
A)I'm surprised that many of you remember ANY of my babble
B) I ask again: How did the story change??
This is important to me

The last time we talked about this, I think we ended by my saying you are right to be skeptical.
I haven't changed my view, I'm more skeptical (cynical) of other people's war stories than anybody I know, including you. That also comes with the lrrp territory

Default James,

Don't have to prove a thing to you, take me at my word or leave it. I have nothing else to say to you on this or any thing else for that matter. I don't agree with you on a lot of things you say here but will defend your right to say it with my life. You would not have gotton a response from me except for cussing at me, if you dish it out you must expect to get the same back. As far as I'm concerned, it's a dead issue so let it go.

Default To all,

I would like to apologize for letting off steam on this forum, those who've known me for a long time know this is unusual for me. I felt the provocation had to be dealt with, let this be an end to it.

your right, we don't have to prove a thing to each other and I'm not mad at you or attacking you now--If I was, my language would be a lot stronger as those who know me well will attest.
I'm sorry I said Fck You, the first post, but, heheheh, I actually wasn't even thinking of you when I said it--the last time we talked about this we reached some agreement. I was under some stress when I wrote that and it was uncalled for.

I'll let it all go but this:
I still want to know how the story changed. Youre not the only one who said this.

James

. If you don't want to answer this, how about the other 2? You'll be doing me a favor here, by keeping me honest

Default The end of The Story

Did I tell you all the version where we turned the prisoner over to the White Mice and they started beating the crap out of him while we were stabnding there? and then we walked away with his screams in my ears, the memory of which can raise the hair on my head even now? The last time I talked about this, had I made up th part where we walked by the poor fcker all broken up lying out in the open in a barbed wire enclosure and later some guys (not me but I wish it was)pulled guns on the White Mice and went in and gave him first aid*?
I might not have made up this part by the last time we talked, hope this don't change everything again. I SURE hope this aint bragging, no, that would be just hella ironic because its always been hard to see myself as the good guy in all this.
Thats why they owe me money.

James Worth
Happy just to be alive

(*Thanks, Sam, yr still my hero)

Default And then

After we turned the prisoner over we continued paddling north on the Mekong looking for the mysterious, elusive Major Kurtz and the tribe of whitefaced gooks. And thats just the way it all happened,, except with better looking women. You can buy the movie rights through my agent.
