One of my favorite Marine officers was an E-6 and was offered E-7 or

I used to have a higher opinion of the military before I encountered
you, Herring, and flajim here.

If it weren't for the military, you and a lot of other people would be
speaking German right now. Try to remember that.


Let's try reading for comprehension, W'hine.

I *used* to have a higher opinion of the military before I
encountered..." Bert, Herring and flajim.

No negative reference was made about the U.S. military in WW II, the
last real war the U.S. won against evenly matched or even superior
forces. As a point of fact, my mother's brother, the uncle I never met,
was a casualty of WW II.

When my first father-in-law died many years ago, his long-time lawyer
handled many thorny, complex and financially related estate issues with
unparalleled integrity. He was a retired Army general.

I've known other honorable serving and retired military personnel. One
of my neighbors in Florida was a retired master chief who ran a
profitable home repair business based on the high quality of his work
(and that of his crews) and his absolute honesty.

Do I have to explain this further, W'hine, or do you now get it...at last?

Oh...before I forget:

Ich spreche Deutsches...vervollkommne!
