I've posted your original comment below which I have challenged. It is also the
only claim I have discussed in my posts.

As I stated before, this is not true. I also stated you would not be able to provide credible proof it was true.
Your most recent post to me has proven me right. The following are my responses to your post:

On the points you attacked me on:
Military presence in Utah:
Utah Expedition

How does this link prove the US sent "dashing single men" to Utah outposts to lure Utah woman away. There is nothing even close to your assertion in this article.

Military outposts were abandoned once the Civil War became a reality.

How does this prove the US sent "dashing single men" to the outposts to lure Utah women to them?

Point #2:
Not able to discuss specifics since Skip replied to a long post by just saying his ancestors were somewhere without dealing with any specific fact. Ball was in Sip's court and here you were looking for it in mine?

How do these comments prove the US sent "dashing single men" to Utah outposts?

Point #3:
Say what? Again, I commented that the US government and a large segment of the US population threw the same chastizements against the LDS Church in the 19th. Century as are being thrown at the FLDS today. Well duh, anyone with any knowledge of Utah history knows that. What, the next time someone ways that a lot of innocent people died in WW2 you'll call for their names and citizenships?

How does this prove the US sent "dashing single men" to Utah, in the 19th century, to lure women away.
I'll stop now as I think my point is made. You are wont to write posts, often provocative ones that make wild claims. Yet when asked for credible proof of your comments, you provide useless links, blame other people for your inability to provide the proof, and use diversions, shifting the conversation to other issues that have nothing to do with the subject of the discussion.
But you never provide the credible proof. That is because you never have any.
I hope others see how they need to be wary of Fiannan's claims.
