Someone's about to lose their jobs

Sez, I only say something if it's so. Also, I don't say things to intimidate. I say them to educate and inform. (In this case adding weight to my claim of what lengths I might go to in the face of authority.) How people interpret them is altogether different.
Chad: well, you'd be surprised what happens, and what doesn't, in a combat zone. I was prepared for whatever. I got a slap on the hand - literally, a stiff talking to by the company gunny. Sometimes they don't want to make things bigger than they need to be, cos it immediately reflects on them. And, as it turned out, the company gunny was busy getting away with things he shouldn'tve, either...which we ended up hearing about through the grapevine...but all he got was a stiff talking to by the CO. Judicial punishment doesn't happen as easy when you're not in the rear/in a maritime status.
Oh, and technically, the guy I referred to was a superior NCO (non-commisioned officer, though only a corporal to my lance corporal). It's important to distinguish between NCO's and 0's (that is, zeros). And soldiers are in the army. Notice I said 'troop'.
ChadTower:
He was just hoping for some good ol' corporal punishment.

If telling us that you were going to shoot someone for being a dick was supposed to impress us, you are mistaken.
Personally, I think you are nothing short of a jerkoff.
shorthair:
markt has a hard time comprehending the parenthesised part in the first paragraph. Perhaps he's just knee-jerk (get it?) responding to what could be conceived of as unpatriotic behavior or something. However, if he wants to discuss it, he could try doing so.
(Except for the, rather mild, innuendo in the parenthesised part, this post is neutral.)

Fine. This computes.
There sure is a lot of mention of rears and stiffs though. Sounds like F-Troop to me ;D
