  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Also, no fatties.

Hegseth rails against 'woke,' lays out standards in speech to top generals​

He demanded no more "fat generals," saying all service members would need to meet fitness tests and grooming standards. "No more beardos," he said. "The era of unacceptable appearance is over."

Troops must meet weight standard to get free tickets to the White House UFC fight​


One defense official said the selection requirements for Trump’s made-for-TV UFC event send a very clear message to soldiers interested in attending: “No fattys.” [That's what I said!]

Senior Pentagon leaders are putting together lists of uniformed US service members who will be offered the chance to attend the UFC fight at the White House next month hosted by President Donald Trump, but tickets will only be given to those who meet military body composition standards, according to guidance memos reviewed by CNN and sources familiar with the process.

“Ticket recipients are required to meet the DOW waist-to-height ratio standard of less than 0.55, as well as all service specific physical fitness test requirements,” one of the memos sent to service members says, using the Pentagon’s preferred acronym for the agency.

Preferred acronyms? What's next, pronouns?

So you’ve never heard about the military-industrial complex?
It’s like half of our movies. Odd that you missed it.

Nothing in those suggested there were hundreds of "flag" officers. Most depictions show a handful of "generals" following the activity in a "war room."

A few years ago and I'd been enjoying the good life and had put on quite a few kilos. Had a check up with my doc and stood on the scales. 'Yeah, I know' I said. 'Really need to do something about that'.

'No' he said. 'Your weight's fine. It's just that you're 2 feet too short'.
