>>>It really offends me when folks who have never served in any capacity to defend with my life your right to say it use that quote. Especially from folks who do little to support the military or speak of them as though they are lessor human beings. Put up or shut up. There are many, many ways to serve that uphold the constitution. You might be interested in reading the oath that all military servicemen take. Please use another quote to serve your purpose instead of one that you cannot substantiate (unless you have service that you have not shared?)

>>Has the entire U.S. military tried to appropriate that hundreds of years old quote, or just you? Voltaire himself was not in the military AFAIK. So maybe he did not mean it in a military context.

>Considered he attended a Jesuit school, I doubt it. Although he did spend time in prison :o)

So, you wouldn't be offended if Mike were a felon? <g>
