Sorry, but I don't remember directing my previous post to you, but
rather to a guy named Doug. However, from what you've written, you've
earned the right to be as vociferous as you like as you've put your
money where your mouth is, so to speak. Not everyone who is so vocal
about urging the US into combat is in the same situation, having
either made any personal sacrifices or offering to do so.

And I'll thank you to not make the same assumptions you accuse me of
making. 7+ years in the USAF, service in Conus, Korea, Turkey, UK.
It's because I value the armed forces and the men and women in it that
I dislike seeing them used in any but the most noble of causes. And
George W.'s personal fight in Afghanistan and Iraq don't qualify, in
my mind. But that kind of disagreement between people is what it's
all about. You don't have to agree with me and I don't have to agree
with you, but I did spend 7 years defending our collective right to
disagree.


Fair enough and thank you for your service.

Excellent discussion, lets go have a beer :-)
