With your liberal bias, my guess would be no, no military service at all, so you're another like the rest of the libs here.... Living off the sweat equity of others.... and creating hate and discontent where you can...

>>>>>>>>>>Yeah? Did you ever see any action??

>>>>>>>>>That's out of line, Grover. Anyone who enlists in the military faces the possibility of being in a situation where they might be killed. John was a Marine and they are routinely sent into the most dangerous situations and have an above average chance of coming home in a box. I disagree with John politically almost up and down the line but I will always respect his service to our country.

>>>>>>>>Request denied! Soldiers in the military certainly deserve respect but, unless they have been in battle, they deserve no more respect than the average hard working tax paying citizen. In fact, it is those tax paying citizens that have paid for their room, board, and training. I think you need to give this issue a little more thought.

>>>>>>>You are an absolute moron. I served in the Marine Corps for 8 years, including a year in Saudi during Gulf 1. So you're saying that only that year was worthy of respect becuase it was a war???

>>>>>I do not agree with banning from the UT. You make me think maybe it's a good idea sometimes, though. The best advice I can give you is to log off, take a deep breath or 20, and stop being so inflammatory.

>>>>>Speaking of banning, has anyone had contact with Mike Cole recently? He said something really inflammatory to me, a phrase for which others have been banned, and I have not seen him post since. I hope he has not been banned. If he was, I had nothing to do with it. Apart from being against it on principle, it's not my style to run to the sysop. If I don't like what you say I will say so directly for all to see.

>>>I just said I don't want you banned so I'm not going to stir anything up. If it's important to you I will see if I can find the post and PM it to you. Glad to see you are alive and well.

>>>Oh, wait, that's not even you, it's someone else ;-)

>>Go ahead and stir it up. I haven't said anything to you that wasn't true, or warrants banning. You publically said I did, so publically back it up.
