At least these criminals had some sort of respect

[~~whimsy~~]

A Milwaukee Army reservist's military identification earned him some street cred Tuesday, when he says four men who mugged him at gunpoint returned his belongings and thanked him for his service after finding the ID.

The 21-year-old University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee student said he was walking home from work about 1:15 a.m. Tuesday when he was pulled into an alley and told to lay face down and with a gun to his neck. Four men took his wallet, $16, keys, his cell phone and even a PowerBar wrapper from his pants pockets, he said.

But the hostile tone quickly changed when one of the robbers, whom the reservist presumed was the leader, saw an Army ID in the wallet. The robber told the others to return the items and they put most of his belongings on the ground next to him, including the wrapper, the reservist said.

"The guy continued to say throughout the situation that he respects what I do and at one point he actually thanked me and he actually apologized," said the reservist, who asked not to be identified Tuesday because the robbers still had his keys.

At least these criminals had some respect for the military and what they do and recognize it. A lesson in this story for all of us.

What a strange thing to happen, why did they not return the keys though.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Because the keys holds the lock to the mugger's hearts.... of which, their hearts grew five times bigger.

too bad hooligans such as Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, KBR, Haliburton and Black Water are not as respectful to our soldiers like the criminals in this story

Dude, have you EVER been in Iraq or do you just read to stories in the papers? This is a good thing these muggers did and yet you have to ruin it with your consistent NeoCon Fobbit BS. Either pick up a gun and serve this country or stop talking about soldiers, which you apprently know nothing about.

Whimsy great post/find.

I don't need to pick up the gun and join the military to serve corporate imperialism when I don't agree with U.S. foreign polcicy nor do I need to join in order to know that they are like pimps who would be very happy to pimp me in Iraq .

Remember this you brainwashed soldier, us taxpayers paid for your travel, lodging, educational, medical and dental care so we can have free speech so I will continue to criticize FOBBITS and U.S. foreign policy as it is my goddamned constitutional right and you NeoCons will not shut me up.

:nono:

tell you want I can't express how pissed I am right now on VETERANS DAY! you twitt. So I'll just give you a movie quote about how I feel.

Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls need to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, LHELLRAISER? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for liberals and curse the Military; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that any Soldiers death, while tragic, probably saved lives and that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use then as the backbone of a life trying to defend something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest that you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

I changed some words around to make it a bit relivent to you.

 

[DJCowboy]

Wow, this thread is already off topic.



This was a good story, somewhat. It was cool the respect these guys showed to this guy but in the end, they still intended to mug someone at gunpoint!

 

[Superfly007]

if in the act of a crime you realize that it was wrong and stop or change your mind does that pardon the crime?

 

[Rey C.]

I don't want to go too far out on a limb, but maybe (just maybe) these guys, or one of them, will rethink the direction of their lives. But I doubt these guys were really hardened criminals. A hardened criminal would knock an old lady in the head and kick her three times before she hit the ground. A hardened criminal would have stuck this soldier in the neck with a knife just to watch him bleed.

But still, it's a good story with a happy ending. :thumbsup:

Uhm just wow. If you've never been in the military you really don't know anything about it so I would probably just keep your opinion to yourself unless you join and it can be a fair opinion. That was probably one of the rudest comments I've ever read. :nono::lame:

Wow, you're really out of line here. I realize this is just a porn board, but he's a solider and you're making these comments on Veteran's Days. It's appalling and disrespectful. You may not agree with the reasons for this war, but you should still appreciate and support the troops that are fighting. Their commitment and dedication transcends bipartisan politics. Even you should be able to see that.

That's what I was thinking also. Not exactly the most hardened out there. At least they were cool enough to give some stuff back. Losing his keys sucks though.

Those irrelevant words are nothing but wool that is used to close your eyes to reality. Grow up and realize not all of us taxpayers are going to get on our knees and suck your dick like alot of superficial Chicken Hawks NeoCons do. Taxpayers such as myself have a constitutional right to criticize the government's foreign policy and speak out against U.S. backed tyranny, genocide and greed in order to further advance U.S. corporate imperialism in other countries that is funded via taxpayers.

If it wasn't for the heroic taxpayers of this country, our military wouldn't be shit and freedom isn't free, we pay for it while big greedy corporations profi, send Americans to run amok and create havok in foreign countries by thwarting real democracy, self-determination, freedom, independence and sovereignty from being practiced by people around the world, our secret counter intelligence agencies bribe or blackmail foreign leaders to become traitors to their people, through Black Ops coup d'etats are carried out to install right wing extremist regimes who rule with an iron fist and impunity.... while falsely proclaiming to spread civilization, freedom, democracy, and justice throughout the world.

I don't need to join the military to know what it's like. I know exactly what it's like by hearing first hand accounts of veterans who tell it like it is without romanticizing and sugar coating the horrific reality of being shipped overseas to further advance the goals and objective of the U.S. empire. Just because I haven't been in the military doesn't mean I don't know shit, in fact the opposite is true thanks to the Freedom of Information Act which exposes the shady acts committed by the military industrial complex. Who cares if you think it is rude, he's a soldier who has been trained to suck it up and be tough.

Implying that I have to suspend my 1st Amendment rights on Veterans Day is superficial, stupid and it ain't going to happen. Respect is not a one way street, it is a two way street and your gal pal Jason launched an attack on me when I commented about Bush & Co. who were a bunch of NeoCunts who didn't serve in any previous wars but were giddy and eager to invade Iraq and have Iraqi civilians murdered based on greed, lies and theft.

Are you really this BIG of an attention whore?

I don't care if you are liberal or anything, but honestly, you are just crying out for attention now. All credibility is lost to any post from hereon being post on this site. If I was you, I would log out, start up a new account and not be such an attention whore to get noticed.

Seriously. No one will no longer hold any merit to your posts from this point on.

This is exactly why I stopped discussing politics a long time ago because all it usually does is end up with everyone looking like little preschoolers fighting over who gets the firetruck next (which is what all politicians look like) and in the end the firetruck gets ripped apart because neither side would budge. Just fucking chill out for five seconds people!!
