That was the whole point of my post to that member.
Pakistani Marines have been invited several times to exercise Bright Star in Egypt back in the 80's. This was way after any of the wars. What Suez Canal invasion are you speaking of? 1956 was the Brits and French attacking in the northern city of Port Said while the Israelis sneaked into the Sinai, only to see all 3 withdraw in total shame for their criminal acts. Nasser was nationalizing the canal because it belonged to Egypt, not the other 3. The only other time the canal was invaded was in 1973 when the Egyptian army launched the October war and crossed the canal and took control of all the Israeli bunkers and command posts the entire west bank of the canal. Are you referring to that?
You should take your own advice, now that you've been called out for falsehood. Had you passed it on as your own opinion instead of throwing it on Pakistani pilots, it might not have been as pricey as it ended up being.
I think you meant something else, because that's exactly what I did, I didn't take her comments lightly since they were despicably untrue. I would politely ask you to revisit what she said, but judging from the disparaging comments you've since made about Egyptians, it would most likely be an exercise in futility.
I've known
@gambit since 2009/2010 from another forum. I've had several discussions with him and even disagreements, but what's more relevant is that even with his occasionally harsh criticisms, he never lies or inserts his opinion and tries passing them on as fact. He always supports his arguments with undeniably persuasive material, not opinions and certainly not made-up, derogatory insults. That's the big difference in someone like him and other pros like
@jhungary etc. With these people, you can tell in 2 or 3 sentences that they truly are who they say they are and they never lie about experiences. As a matter of fact, they have come out and said who and what they are and have backed it up with proof, not heresay. This other member's position is nothing but speculation, even by your admission. I don't know about the 3rd username member you mentioned, but I can tell you for certain, the comments that were made by this supposed aeronautical or possibly ex-Pak individual reeked of nothing but untrue, biased and ignorant opinions that were being passed on as facts -- for what appears to be a pretty obvious reason -- which when you stop and think about it for a minute, was actually not only insulting and totally nonfactual about the Saudi and Egyptian military but in reality, it reflected negatively on Pakistani Air Force pilots. This was the immediate give-away. If you've ever been around military aviators of any type, they kid around about other military groups be it within their own armed forces or others, but it's always done in fun and busting chops and friendly one-upmanship, not the rubbish that was brought up. Their behavior is based on military air force discipline which is of the highest order, nothing to do with their abilities as pilots. So let's see, Pakistani pilots...IN SAUDI ARABIA... are yacking about shooting down Saudi pilots blindfolded to a supposed, unknown, ex-Pak aeronautical something or other, who's now on a forum talking about these Pakistani pilots behaving like high school children? You see any truth to that, or are they just made up fantasies based on biased opinion looking for attention and acceptance?
Of course. Hard to believe there's even any semblance of agreement to those despicable lies. That prejudice and lying was very easy to spot.
Yet you did! Twice that I know of!
Let me ask you; do you think that's indicative of the entire armed forces? Did the actions of the US soldiers in Abu Ghreb reflect on the entire US Army, Marine Corp and Navy? I think we can agree that there are a few bad apples in every group. Sometimes when a story like that is repeated, one can tend to believe there is an agenda behind it. Hope that's not the case. BTW, my father was 25 years with the United Nations, administrative level, and 2 of those years in Pakistan.
Not sure why you consider it the best program. They follow the same recruitment process as the USAF.
I'm glad you edited your comment, because that was truly a disgusting thing you said.
