    My dog that has the balls to chase a 500lb black bear up a rock, is completely terrified of my wife. I can't say I blame the dog. Women screeching that the top of her lungs drive anyone away.

    Got a few 'elites' right here where I work, as luck would have it.

    I really like this job. It's tough getting out of here and on the road (I'm trying to worm into a slot in Bagram right now, but I think I'll end up having to settle for a Baghdad out-and-back for 90-120 days, starting in February). But the calibre of the guys here is off the meter. Learned a lot in a short time, and I was fairly well-seasoned when I got here (or so I thought).

    Awesome individuals don't always make terrific troops that fit in with outstanding units. But around here, they'll only take you if you can.

    Too many people that are excellent at their jobs and with highly-developed skills that want to get into elite units don't get that. It's not about you succeeding, Sgt Rock, it's about us winning.

    Chap,

    You do that and you will be chucked out of our Army without a trial.

    But Ray, your Army are 'trained military professionals.' The Chap clearly said he wanted no part of that kind of trouble.

    The rest of you married gents better get yourselves down to the recruiter if he's coming to your town, though...

    Bluesman,

    My army is the legacy of Chap's Empire.

    That is why I am shocked.

    Discussing women, politics and religion is just not the done thing!

    Joking aside, I must establish the fact that to the fullest extent of my knowledge I have never slept with anyone's wife or girlfriend. Shockng as that may be. That kind of thing is for cads, not chaps.

    That would be your interpretation of the rules.

    Mine is....different.

    If i know a guy in even the most casual of terms i'd never touch his woman. But if i met some hot woman who was hot for me and didnt know her husband at all....too bad for him.

    That would be sad.

    I respect you as a gentleman.

    I am sure you won't let anyone down.

    It's just not something done. Whether or not I know the guy about to cuckolded. I have utterly without knowledge transgressed and felt like an complete ****. It's not on. If "she" puts everything on a plate, then her morals are in question, but I have not even taken up offers from girls/women in so-called open relationships. Christ, that's sloppy seconds with a permit.

    Very true Chap.

    But then, there are those guys and their mid-life crisis'. They drive german sports cars and need the reassurance, that the the attention from a young lady can give them. Confidence in themselves start to decline as their decreasing testosterone levels depletes their masculinity. So prestige from a fancy car and young ladies affection make up for it

    Then theres those testosterone riddled young males that would stick it anywhere the hidden scent of ferromones came from.

    Inbetween are the rest of us gentlemen that have a bit of self control, although im sure each man has a line that he could be tempted to cross.
