That's right. I have no objection to government employees, be they
civilian or military. Nor do I object to their benefits or pensions. I
think every working American should be entitled to a defined benefit
pension and everyone here should have access to good health care.


Then why do you continue to claim he "lived off the government teat all
his working career?"



Because of his drooling about socialism, which he does not understand,
and his racist ravings.





My problem with Herring is his hypocrisy and his racism. Perhaps you
don't remember the insults he threw at his students at a predominately
black school, or the insult he threw at his Latino neighbors. I do.


I don't recall him saying anything I would consider racist. The problem
today is that many on the left consider any negative comment made about
an action or an issue involving a minority as racism. It's the
"politically correct", elitist thing to think, you know.

I recall them well, and so do others.

I guess I opened a real can of worms when I asked you a couple
questions. I am surprised that you consider getting a union card and
spending a lot of time paying union dues the equivalent of being in
the military. I also spent some time in the military, and I had to
take a test before I was trained in my specialty. In fact, we took a
whole battery of tests, for an entire day. Then I was told I would be
an Artillery Fire Direction Control specialist. Lots of math, slide
rules, and noise. It took 8 weeks to complete basic training, learning
to march, shoot, crawl, repair wounds, live through a gas attack, and
so on. Then there was another 8 weeks of training in Artillery Fire
Direction Control. After that was another 8-10 weeks of Basic Unit
Training followed by another 8 weeks of Advanced Unit Training. Of
course, testing was done at the end of each phase of training. Once
finished, the unit was put on a ship in Boston Harbor, and it sailed
to Vietnam.

When you say, "I recall them well, and so do others," to what others
are you referring? Do you mean Don White, salty, and slammer? It seems
like those guys are the only ones who believe much of anything you
say. You seem to have earned a bunch of animosity here, and I guess I
can understand that.

I guess the old saying, "You get what you pay for," applies to
animosity also, huh?

Well, you have a good day.

BTW, why do several people use the term 'WAFA' regarding you, and what
does it mean?
