Welcome back!

[HELEX]

This is no popularity contest, its about facts and Opinions. I never stated to be popular or tried to be it. :cantbeli:

This Question is just embarrassing for you in the way you ask it, we are not 13 years old girls asking who is liked by more friends. :lol:

HELEX you still just don't get it do you?

It was you who stated I lost respect in the Iraqi flag thread,what this poll is doing is seeing just how much you "think" I've lost.

Guys I'll start looking out some pics to post,obviously there are some of the team,but for OPSEC reasons I will blank out their faces,other stuff should be fine!!

Ehum, didn´t you say that you would edit all our posts? (Simply because
you didn´t like us). That´s hell of a difference. Also I remember you saying something
about my ****** preferences, well that I probably liked to wear leather and doing
something with other peoples asses, and what not (I didn´t read it all so, you probably
now exactly what you wrote better than I do).

Respect to you for that Argyll.

[Resevoir Hogs]

Right on Argyl!!

I dispise this garbage this low life HELEX spews on this thread. he posts like 21 posts a day average?! Guy has no life rofl

[MEGR]

I don't agree with Helex, but i really don't give a rats arse about voting for this.. I'm glad you're back in one piece, and I was wondering if you can create a thread telling us about your experiences. With OPSEC of course ;) . You're from the UK correct? Were you stationed in Basra? Did you ever get in touch with other Coalition forces? I have so many questions...If you've answered these already, I apologize for repetition..

[Kriz]

Glad to have you back buddy !

[Ballistic]

Wouldn't worry about that...I always tagged along with my older brothers and hung with his friends so I had a rather "rich" vocabulary by the time I was 8 or so...my parents never really sheltered me from anything either.

[SeanR]

hmm...so you're saying:

YOUR MOM AND DAD TOOK YOU TO STRIP CLUBS??!?!?!

[Argyll]

Thanks guys,and that includes you Mustamoto ;)

Once I get the photo's resized I'll make some of them available here.

Next trip when the tasks start coming in again( we were under lockdown for the duratio I was there)which meant there were only a few trips out and about.

Ah ofcourse. Thanks Jack.

Next trip when the tasks start coming in again( we were under lockdown for the duratio I was there)which meant there were only a few trips out and about.

So that means you were there and still know nothing about whats going on. Does that fit to your Question on start of this Topic Mr. Iraq expert? :lol:

No HELEX I never said I was an expert in Iraq,your words not mine pal,but it makes me more of an authority on what was going on there than what you are/were,like I said I before I was still out and about and talked to Iraqi's in and out of the Green zone,and I was there when the Rokets were incoming nightly,and was there when our convoy was the target during an RPG attack,and I was there 200m down the road when the ISG guys got "bumped".....but then again You've been reading it all in Der Speigel,and watching the Media Bovine Show.!!
I am more aware of the realities of the truth in Iraq than what you are from my 1st hand experiences,I'd say that would make me more of an expert than yourself wouldn't you agree?.
You kept asking me a question and getting upset about me not answering it,reason I didn't is that I'm not a politician,I'm a PSD operator,but seeing as you are the Forum Iraq expert ,you have not answered it yourself.I'll tell you this much the Americans and the British will NEVER pull out through insurgents,there is a 5 year reconstruction plan......you're the expert .......you figure it out.! ;)

Argyll>> Welcome back!

Hope you are fine, even though I fair you have might seen far more then needed 'down there'.

About who has more respect...well, I find this and other threads silly as hell. Do we really need more "Ban X/Love me or him/Do you like my Quads"-threads to feel better about ourselfs? (This is directed to everyone that has started any threadds like this.)

Trust the 'goverment' of this board to know what this forum needs, without pushing you own agendas of whom should be allowed here or not.

Not sure what you mean here? without sounding obnoxious care to "elaborate"
Banning people is the extreme,it's quite simple follow the forum rules and thou shalt not get banned.
Some here have been sailing close to the wind for months,and this has been noted by the Mods and also brought to fruit by other respectable forum members....I'm still jetlagged so right now I'm carefree about what goes on,my loyalties are to my teammates back in Iraq and my thoughts are with them

[Truthsayer]

I'm only saying that anyone that goes through hard times _will_ be affected some way or another - just hoping you haven't had to deal with a lot of hard times down there. I do belive you are a proffesional, but a personality-change due to experience under preassure is very common. Only hope you still have the same bright outlook on life.

Best regards.

Your seriously ****ting me?......hard times ,under pressure,Post Traumatic stress disorder?.......you're seriously having a laugh ain't ya?If not then I'd be pretty disturbed by what you wrote,unless you are some kind of Proffesional Therapist who deals with PSD,I'd quit smokin the crack pipe !!

You have not a single clue as to what I did,when I did ,and where I went,you have no clue as to the Type of guys I was working with/for,you have no clue as to what really goes on outside the "media bubble" inside Iraq........when is the last time you talked to a citizen of Baghdad face to face ,mano to mano?

You watch too many war movies mate ;)

Wow, you have been changed. :|

I was being nice and you are acting like a jerk. Thank you so much. Nevermind the greetings I sent you or the PMs I wrote - you obiously can only interprete anything some people write as flames or snide remarks. :|

[Argyll]

No you insinuated I was suffering from PTSD,and that I was under stress,etc etc,I stated that uless you were in a position to be able to diagnose these things then you have no idea.

If that was being nice,then I'd hate to see you being a cu*t!!

Nothing has changed my outlook on life,what has changed after seeing it 1st hand is people who are not in a position to comment about Iraq and the Operations that go on there,people who actually believe what the media feeds them.

If you feel insulted then I do apologise,it was not my intention,there are way too many people who offer opinions about Iraq,who have never been there,and just do not see the real stories,I have seen and will see again when I return next month,yet when I tell them of what I saw they still dismiss it as nothing,as if they are the experts,the armchair warriors

Nonono, I wasn't insinuating you had PTSD. I really hope nothing major happend to you, that would ever induce that.
I have friends that have been to Kosovo, some others that where in Lebanon and so on - everyone comes back a _little_ changed. Experience can be a good thing, since it might make some people grow up (not talking about you!), learning more about themselfs and so on, but ofcourse a couple of the ones that went away on tours places mentioned above came back a little...hardened. Almost more cynical. I was only hoping you haven't been changed (at all) since I liked to have you around the forum. You could keep some of the flames down and some of the worst retards at bay. Was only concearned how you let yourself be affected by an flamer and almost going into flame-mode yourself. I know you know better then that.

If I didn't like you from the start I wouldn't have voted for you in this thread...

[Argyll]

:D I'd had more trouble trying to open some can of Ham from the PX than insurgents mate,Apart from the RPG attack 1st day the rest was just the daily rocket attacks in the green zone,and the bomb that killed the 2 US soldier down the road from me.

Ok now we're sorted........I hope(you got the PM?)

[NcDeuce]

Bunch of turds actually voted for HELEX... :cantbeli:

[HELEX]

See Argyll, you lost at least 15%.

I won! rofl

[Argyll]

Which like the 20% of guys That didn't like me anyway......Go and eat some humble pie mate,there was always plenty here who didn't like me. ;)

But the question was about who HAS the more respect you or I and you lost rofl

[ShotOver]

Argyll mate, i drank a beer for you every time i was out with the boys while you were in-country, awesome to see you back.
Don't take anythin HELEX says to heart, im sure his days here and numbered, or you could always give him a wee bit of a glasgow kiss outta here :P

[HELEX]

rofl

[ShotOver]

See, look at him, the little ****.

*Lines up a Glasgow kiss*

[HELEX]

rofl

[Argyll]

Maybe he thinks a Glasgow kiss involves tongues,and that he and I are going to swap spit in the shower together in the wee small hours of the morning rofl

[HELEX]

rofl

You two saved my day....

[Argyll]

Saved your day?
Tell me do you actually work for a living as you seem to spend your waking hours here?
Me I'm on leave,hence the ability to spend time here,but when I'm working it's not easy to get online,whether it be here or Back in Iraq.

Do you have an occupation HELEX?,how do you find so much time to spend on line?

I get pelters from the wife for spending more than an hour on line,sounds like you have no social life or relationships to enjoy?

[HELEX]

No, im studying and the computer is always on. So when Im frustratet I just open the browser Window..... :lol:

[Argyll]

What are you studying........Social skilzz? rofl

[HELEX]

Microsystems Engieneering, was thinking of doing social skills but came to the conclusion I have enough. :lol:

[Argyll]
