With nothing but ad hominem... *and so on*
Reading this from the sidelines and with what military training I have (no combat exp), I think that you are essentially probably very right with your assessment regarding the non-usage of smoke.
Having said that, your attitude is really starting to work against what you claim. It's difficult to take you seriously with that smug way you act.
I respect combat service and all, but I'm also beginning to doubt if you are for real. The people I know that are in the military are the more laid back the more "Special Ops" they are.
If it is true that you served, it's a shame the military did nothing to get that huge chip off your shoulder. Guess you need to earn some more ribbons and jump wings, huh?
Also, I think you're pulling off ad hominems left and right there as well.
