For the record, I am
not a vet. But I
did grow up as an Air Force brat and pretty much all the other males in my family were either career or short-timers, so I do get irate when the government goes back on its promises or arbitrarily changes the deal, as it has done in the past. Yes, it's personal. The fact that the flag-wavers are doing it just adds insult to injury.
I guess all the response to your input here (and in other threads) proves that people do care. It's just that most of them don't seem to agree with you.
Thanks,
Cactus. I don't mind an honest disagreement you know, it's that recycled PR bushwa I can't stomach. So, I'm not the only one who thought JD's sign was a laff riot?
I'm beginning to think you're a socialist in sympathetic vets clothing.
I don't know what my politics would have to do with this,
tubebuoy, but you may have a point since the military is the most socialist segment of our society. With large corporations a close second and "rich" people in general right behind. Yeah, I do tend to think the rest of us should be let in on the deal...
By the way, you managed a twofer there -- Name-Calling plus Transfer in the same sentence. I think you've been hanging out with the wrong crowd, you're picking up bad habits. (

All right, tube, I did jump down your throat a bit. Apologies. But that old "reduction in the rate of growth" stuff? Lame. And fundamentally dishonest. I don't think I will dance with you today, though. Might wake up Dr. Jackyll who seems to have gone back to sleep under the bridge.
