General K0f1 D4n13l is proving to be quite amusing.

Captain Mal upbraided him for sending his ID:

Quote:

You should not have sent that ID - I've deleted it and made sure. The interweb is not secure! Don't you people ever learn?

General D4n13l was most indignant:

Quote:

Now,the issue of document i sent to you,I demand an apology from you for making that insultive statement (Don't you people ever learn?).

Mal, in turn, was unrepentant:

Quote:

I don't think I have anything to apologize for. Let me say that I have no great regard for the United Nations - not since Somalia. I risked my life and those of my men under UN control and nothing was achieved. The fact that you sent me your ID shows that you're careless of basic security - that ID could be used for nefarious purposes. I trust I've made my point.

The General didn't like that:

Quote:

I am disappointed in the manner you address me having known that my position in the Army,at least for curtsy sake,you are suppose to address me with respect despite views.
Anyway,i do not blame because i have been assigned to do this job and I must do it.I have worked as a humanitarian officer for sometime now so I will say that i have got used to peoples behaviors and norms.
It might interest you to know that my aim of sending my Id card to you is that I have seen your records but now and in the past,so for me to tell you that this transaction is really under my control,i have to send it to prove my genuinety in this.I am not afraid if my you or any one could use my passport for negative purposes.

With it came this form: http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=184618

Mal was unimpressed:

Quote:

Have you been on active service in your nation's elite forces? Have you been wounded in action? Have you seen a close comrade blinded by enemy fire? Have you killed your country's enemies?
Unless you've answered yes to all those questions, you don't have my respect. Equally, this - "I am not afraid if my you or any one could use my passport for negative purposes" - doesn't help. In fact it only confirms my worst suspicions!

So the General replied at length, trying to discredit two other Lads I'd mentioned before:

Quote:

It is quite unfortunate that you asked me question which you of all people should know best,but however my answer is yes.I have served virtually in all department of the military before i was finally appointed by the Chief of General staff to serve as military attache to the UN army.
I have been in foreign mission many years ago and I have also been wounded,I guess you may have been maltreated by then when you were in foreign mission under U.N control but you must put those one things aside and lets complete your good mission project at hand.I joined the Ghana Army to serve my nation (Ghana) and thats all.Every other encounter on the way is views as one the task I have to bear in order to become who I finally became.I joined the Australian Military and not U.N military,for any reason if you were maltreated on certain grounds where you found yourself under the control of U.N,then you have to take it as a price one has to pay in life.Every one must not tell his life experiences because everyone not even only soldiers has a story to tell.
Consequently,the people you talked about (Clottey and Mensah) may have known that we recovered some boxes containing money,belonging to you and they went to inform you first though the information was kept secret by the airport authority,Military intelligence and the Interpol who have documents on the incidence but how the information got to you without due process is what i don't know and their reasons for that is what I cannot ascertain even at this point.
However,the ball is in your court,you either believe me or you believe the two men.Regarding my statement "I am not afraid if my you or any one could use my passport for negative purposes" yes i said it because my records are there to speak for me.People can use my Id for anything but the fact remains that I am who i am and the Government knows and that was why they appointed to with the UN.I cannot disappoint my country and will not bring shame to my respected nation of Ghana.
I shall be glad if you trade wisely.

He joined the Australian military? I don't think so!
