Hey Ian, do us all a maple-syrup solid and vent your anti-American sentiments on some Canadian curling forum.

I didn't start this thread so that those Honorable men could be shown pathetic example of disrespect... from someone who doesn't know, nor could comprehend what they did to achieve such Honor. I find your post distasteful, and immature.

I don't think we are idiots. I think its more a case of greed and avarice. Granted, we could definetly be more astute and stand by our convictions more.

I liked the way Winston Chruchill put it, "The Americans will do the right thing; but only after they have exhausted every other option". On another note, its nice to see service men and women finally being treated with some respect, cuz when I was in the service, 67-71 we were spit on and treated like 2nd class citizens. After I got discharged and went back home I was either a baby killer or had lost the war and employers seemed to view my service time as a liability.

Wow, noticed from your profile you are a student; obviously it is not history. Please post again when you have knowledge of not only the US role in history but your own country. Better yet; why don't you think about serving your country or do you need to grow a pair?

Sorry about the late reply----That is the great irony, I was in the Coast Guard. Anyway, it was a long time a go, so it isn't as emotionally painful now.

A little off of the subject, but I was caught in a quandry. Vietnam was wrong, but I felt I owed my country something. What I've come away with is, 1) regardless of a persons polictical views, if they were in or are in the service I treat them as a equal and with respect, which is more than I can say for most, 2) there should be compulsory service time for young males. There are about 3 others, but they are negitive and really won't serve much purpose if posted. Welcome home, and know you did a good job. As one of my friends said, "there may have been cowards in Vietnam, but I sure didn't see any".

Wow. I can't believe you wrote that. I'm glad all Canadians don't share your ignorant attitude. I'll bet you're under 25 and have no real clue as to how this planet operates. Keep in mind one thing. You may personally think we're idiots, but our freaking Salvation Army could kick your ass.

What does age have to do with this?

I'll bet you're over 25 and look down on those younger than you and think yourself more intelligent than them.

Having a big army (just like using big font size) does not give immunity to idiocy.

For the record, I don't "look down on those younger than me". So, you lost that bet. But thanks for your conclusion jumping. The fool decides to bash my country on a freaking golf forum. Remember the " Americans are idiots " line? He's your typical Internet tough guy. Balls of steel online but betcha he folds like a cheap lawn chair when confronted. I'm glad the Salvation Army line wasn't wasted on you! You're too quick for me! (ya know, if I have to start explaining every joke I pen...) jeesh.

Brother, VN was handled wrongly, but fighting alongside someone who's fighting for their freedom is never wrong... people helped us in the 1770s... I admire and agree with #s 1 & 2.. and thanks for having the wisdom to go any further!!! your friend was right, all things considered. after working @ a VA hospital for over 23 years, I've never had the honor to meet one of these heros that were awarded the CMH. that tells how truely rare they were to obtain, and the fact that most were given post-humanously. Thank you for YOUR service, and receive a salute from me.....

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
