Here's a clue for you, fella. Showing up at a base a weekend a month, and
going off to summer camp to play in the mud may be service, but...it isn't
the same as dodging bullets in Iraq.

It's nothing at all.

Glorified Boy Scouts.

Harry, by your standards, half the people currently dodging bullets in Iraq
*were* glorified Boy Scouts 24 months ago.

But they're not any more.
No one serving in Iraq is a glorified Boy Scout. All duty there is
dangerous.

But simply showing up at a stateside base once a month, and going off to
summer camp stateside is not the same as facing enemy fire, bombs,
kidnappings, et cetera.

Who said it was? What gives you the right to denigrate *anyone's* service?

His right as a taxpayer. As someone who pays the wages of servicemen,
he, and all citizens who pay taxes, should have a say about someone's
service.

Inane.
