This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

El Kabong is a former Delta Force member. I know, I served with him in the kind of ops that would make Colonel Jessup shake in his boots like a Frenchman before the Nazi onslaught.

El Kabong got that nickname from the noise that his weapon made when he swung it like a baseball bat and popped a Nicaraguan soldier right in the face. We were there to interdict a shipment of North Korean plutonium and stumbled across a patrol out looking for us. He ran out of ammo in a midnight firefight in the middle of a shitty little vill and finished off the last guy by playing Babe Ruth.

This guy knows how to kill you five ways with both hands tied behind his back. One hand? He probably knows fifteen. Both hands available? You're dead before you hit the ground. Hell, he could spot you a machete and five seconds and he would still walk away without a scratch.

Think twice before you challenge this man to anything, much less a fight. He will end you.
