Half my family is American! I used to actively shoot in competitions and join Marines and Army personnel on training before active duty deployment, so have a pretty good knowledge of alot of weaponry, the different types and their uses. Therefore my comments and opinions are based on personal experience and an active knowledge gained over many years.
So I'm still sticking to it!
Gentle ribbing? Are you backtracking Chocs? "Low opinion of Americans" is hardly gentle ribbing. You were voicing your opinion.
And I guess you see youself as a full fledge colonel with all the knowledge of military weapons. "Trained with the Marines and Army personnel before active duty deployment" - do you know how stupid you sound? If one were to believe that you lived the many lives you claimed, and had the experiences you have claimed to have, and possess all the knowledge you have gathered, you would be in the Book of Guiness.
Your life must be very empty and shallow for you to sit around and come up with these stories portraying yourself as the all-knowing-wise-one. I guess you need to get your thrills and excitement some how.
