No myronman3 I am not trying to distract anyone. You are quick to criticize, and I too have been guilty of such. What I am saying is I think your full of you know what.
I DO OCCASIONALLY show my pride of some of my family members, and that is an undeniable fact.
Respect and Honor. Interesting words to be sure, but I am careful how I use them, and I don't throw them around.
You started this with your HATE criticism, when I and others were kidding around. I didn't make any accusations about your service. I believe you served. I also believe your experience is way over-stated. This is my opinion, and I ask for no support from anyone, and not for a second expected you to like it.
Your condescending remarks about our hate causing us to have ulcers and undue stress was a PERSONAL ATTACK against we whom were have the discussion. It was not about you, and you tried to talk down to us, and criticized us for our remarks while pretending to know something about us. You don't.
I usually "pass you by" as of late when I see a post of yours, but alas you started the condesencion here, and now you don't like it.
Oh, and as far as friends killed in the line of duty, or k.i.a. as you say. I have lost numerous friends whom were killed in the line of duty over a twenty year period, and will probably lose more. There are more ways to serve ones country than the military. Police and Firemen are just one of many. And we have lost, and will lose more. And yes, I have bled for my country "men".
I will gladly, and already have leave you out of my sights, if you will do the same. You say I am a never was, and as far as the military you are correct. I am a never was, and I believe you are a fraud.
Are we done now, or do you want to talk some more about how brave you are, and how brave I am not? And calm down a little, even your typing looks stessed out.
