What's your point?
If they helped bring that war to an early close shouldn't they be
honoured?

Honoring cowardly acts is not the American way. I'm surprised that
Canada feels differently.
Do you think they were all cowards?
Pretty much.

Oh yeah....
re "Honoring cowardly acts is not the American way."
Do I dare point out that your current president hid from service?

What branch of your military did you serve in?



Bert, Bert, Bert...get off your high horse. You never served in a
shooting war.

Never said I was in any action. However, I was available to be a bullet
catcher when the phone rang and I needed to be at the assembly point
within hours.

What branch of the military did you serve in, Harry?

Why does it matter? New rules? Nobody can talk about this if they haven't
served?

I thought it was a fair question since Harry was belittling Bert's service.
Talk all you want Doug. It's a free country. Justify the actions of draft
dodgers if you want. Your freedom has been secured by the millions who have
helped to defend this country and make it free.

If we were faced with something like WWII, I'd the lined up waiting for my
short haircut, just like you. But, you know as well as I do that some
military actions are done solely for political, personal, or pathological
reasons. The Spanish-American war, the Vietnam war, and the current Viagra
substitute in Iraq are all in this category. If some people believe it's
noble to serve even when the reasons are pathetic, they are free to do so.
But, not me.

I have to wonder, Doug, why you didn't ask Harry the same question when he
posed his question to Bert.

Because Bertie asks the question for a different reason than Harry does.

Really, why don't you educate all of us and provide the reasons for
Harry and I asking the question.

It has nothing to do with talking, everybody can do that with exception
to those that can't physically talk.

If somebody asks a medical questions and you respond with an answer. Are
they entitled to know if you are medical professional and at what level?

Opinions can have weight and that weight is in direct proportion to the
the education and experience of the person giving the opinion.

Would you let the guy taking his first auto mechanics class rebuild your
car's engine? Do you want your doctor's first surgery to be the one he
performs on you?
