(79,042 posts)fantasies in the dark ...... thus far, 100% of DU "visitors" who claim to be of special operations backgrounds have been of the nomenclature of "engaged in fantasy operations of wanking off so quietly, that their mommies don't hear from the next room." basement dwellers tend to view the world as a dark and frightening place.
In fact, my uncle said that he had no need for a gun in the situation I described with unerring accuracy. Like his many brothers employedd in law enforcement/ intelligence, he subscribed to the saying, "Never talk like you are wearing a gun." Any real special ops individual would appreciate that a gun et al is merely a tool, not an identity. More, "luck" is simply the ability to take full advantage of one's abilities in a given situation.
A special ops individual also has to have the ability to read a situation accurately. Thus, when you make up nonsense about me "insist(ing) that he remain forever unarmed" -- an error that you own, and which can only be rooted in either gross ignorance or utter dishonesty -- it becomes hard to take anything else you say seriously. Very difficult, indeed.
