What do you have against soldiers, mostly honorable and brave folks? My dad never talked about the war, but when he dies he wants me to note at his funeral that "he loved his family" and "he was a soldier"... I think the point is that he did not stop being a soldier when he came home from war, he was a soldier for life. Nothing wrong with that. You don't have to be republican to be a soldier either, as I have noted before, my family was heavily involved in the socialist party/movement some decades ago. All of them went to war, and loved their country. Mike, both Doug and Harry think it will bend me way out of shape if they put down my military service (or that of anyone else). Harry's gone so far as to make the 'killing babies' charge. Other than showing where they must go to think they've won, their comments have no effect. Let's me make something perfectly clear: I don't put down your military service *BECAUSE* it was military service. I do it because of who and what YOU are. And, I do it because you don't really understand why you served and what you were sworn to protect. You have no idea who I am, what I am, why I served, what I did, or anything else. You and Harry are great at tap dancing. -- John H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." |

If that's the case, it's because you are so disastrously bad at expressing yourself. But, that's not your goal here. Your goal (or your accidental consequence) is to throw as much useless flak as you can. You're very good at it. |

Your knowledge is in your lobsta' boat! My knowledge of you is based upon your posts here and elsewhere, and from personal observation. As far as I can tell, there are two and only two positive attributes about you: you have a nice wife, and you do a good job washing out your boat. |

Harry, my knowledge of you is based on the same factors. I'm trying hard to come up with some positive attributes. Let's see....spelling? It would surely not be integrity or slimness of build. -- John H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." |
