Since you opened the door as Dr. Beebe stated, I find it odd you didn't open

your point with the OT as you so appropriately reminded us. I must admonish you

though to not lecture us on our military. Was it anti-war sentiments you held,

or were you just a coward?

My family lost a very good and dear friend in Iraq, who enlisted on his own out

of his love for his country. Are you trying to insinuate he was an idiot for

enlisting? His wife, family, and dear friends would like to differ with you if

that is your opinion. The military family is a close, loving family who are

brought together for one reason, and that is the love of their country, and

their desire to keep it safe and protect it's citizens from foreign threat,

weather YOU deem them a threat or not.

Unless you have at your finger tips the same information our leaders, both

government and military have when making their decisions, you are much like a

neurosurgeon operating on a brain who only went to two years of medical school,

then dropped out. Kind of foolish for anyone to listen to that type of ill

informed opinion, if you ask me.

I could go on and on, and there are some on this list that may. Because they

truly understand the meaning of what it is to be free, and I would appreciate it

if you would refrain from impugning those who have fought, and survived, and

those who have fought and given their lives so you can have your opinion that

would best be kept to yourself.

Honoring our vets and government leaders.
