No its not a childish response, my response just shows the lack of understanding you say. Realism has no place in a game you say. You make me laugh, you apparently failed to have played a Tom Clancy, BF, or COD game. These are based on real life battles and real life equipment and they have been very successful. So your argument is null and void. Second, my experience in these weapons do exist and I have the paper work to prove it, Its called a DD214. If you think the military is all beans and bullets you need to educate yourself on DARPA and see what the future really does hold. First off over 200 years of family military heritage is what I stand on, not you, wilkipedia, or any other lame a** argument you can come up with. My ancestors, including myself have fought in one war or another from the Revolutionary war to current war on terrorism. So for that I am glad I can stand here and argue this with you because this shows freedom still exist.
I said that realism has no place in a game with nuclear baseballs. There is a difference. The next time that you can perform a charged up laser shot in BF, then we can talk about that. This game has almost no realism involved, and expecting it is certainly going to lead to you being disappointed.
My opinions on your service are immaterial, although I still find your claims highly dubious, if only for your seeming lack of ability to comprehend english, a skill normally valued in Defense related industries. Regardless, if you served, good for you.
I don't need an education in what the military is about, I served my tour under conditions that most American soldiers couldn't take. I know this because when Americans did come down to Guiana to do our jungle course, they invariably were quite surprised at how we did things.
If you fought in the war on terror, then there is a whole list of things I could call you, but that is a matter that does not need to be tread upon here, as it is both diversionary, and highly inflammatory. But good for you for supporting hegemony and being part of a war of aggression.
Finally, if you think that as an American you are still free, or that you have rights, you are sorely mistaken, and I genuinely feel bad for you. But if you did serve, you at least deserve respect for being willing to put your life at risk for what you believe in.
