If your peers are talking about what it's like in Afghanistan whilst having not actually been there then it's a justified comment (in my opinion).
The context I originally meant was when soldiers themselves use having deployed to Afghanistan/Iraq in arguments that don't have anything to do with the role they played overseas.
I see the having been to Afghanistan/having not been to Afghanistan as starting to develop a wedge between some soldiers.
For example, soldiers using whether or not an NCO/Officer has been to Afghanistan as a measure of their leadership abilities. Leaders have deployed who were idiots and being overseas hasn't seemed to given them any great insight- yet some people still foster a stigma about it.
It's also puts a stigma on soldiers who haven't been there too. I've seen it really weight on guys shoulders that they "missed" Afghanistan. I see the "If you haven't been there, shut up" attitude even if said in jest driving an unhealthy wedge between troops.
Pretty embarrassing isn't it.Hurricane said:

Four pages of rehash from previous topics.
Everyone seems somewhat in agreement.
Do we really need to make it five pages?

I agree. However, I wanted to break the page mark with this post.
I had an uncle that like watching MASH, does that give me street cred?

From what I've read here, cred (and knowledge of all things tactical/strategic) comes only from being an ex-RCR Cpl with one Afghan tour.John Tescione said:

Love having words put in my mouth. I really hate using the ignore function, as in my view it is an extreme. Heck, even Redeye, whom I disagree with fundamentally on almost every issue isn't on my ignore, because once in a while he says something that makes me think. You, on the other hand, are just a useless troll. You never add anything useful to discussions and you're generally just an idiot. Congratulations on being the first, and probably only, person I will add to my ignore list.

And it doesn't matter what you are arguing about or discussing, as long as you've been to Afghanistan or Iraq you probably know more. People just don't understand, man.
Considering freedom of speech and all that, they can keep it.
I think the picture sucks the big haughty one because it completely disregards any and all support troops.
It should read: If you've been to or supported Iraq/Afghanistan then join in and Speak Up.
(it just might entice conversation) ;D

Because using the "Shuddup" shut down in that situation, is appropriate.
