Odd Job:

You are a guest here, seem to be an educated individual, and I am trying to treat you as such.

At the same time, this is a board for Special Forces personnel. I do not believe that you have passed that test. Till then, you are a guest here.

Team Sergeant is a retired SF soldier and is one of the founders of this board. As such, he has considerable lattitude in what he can say here. There has been no name calling, picture posting, personal attacks, or particular rudeness here since early in the thread. He made an observation and a simple answer as to why the thigh would be the prefered tissue area to impact would have been sufficient. His wife is an experienced trauma surgeon at a major metropolitan medical center and can translate for him if necessary.

I would avoid getting into a pissing contest with him, as I am finding the discussion stimulating and it will be more difficult if you are not here to post, but you do as you see fit.

NDD is a former teammate of mine, a Special Forces medical sergeant, a combat veteran, and is currently employed as a contractor in what has been called one of the most dangerous places on Earth. He knows things. Trust me.
