    That was probably the coldest thing I have ever heard someone say in the forum. a disabled vet is worthy of a handshake and if possible a salute everytime you see one.
    I certainly salute him for his service but you have to admit he has made it sound like he got hurt doing his job in the service and therfore was disabled not that he suffered from some medical malady that was not service related. If I can call Kerry a coward and a traitor this is a far cry from that I would think. In fact he may be drawing compensation anyway because he was in the service. Im not questioning his service but the impression I got. Personally I hate the government so much Ive never even put into the VA for anything. My point is Ive never heard Don mention a word about this while Aenlic brings it up often. Thats because us conservatives are humble. Especially your truly

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Well, after the second post by Gawain. I can see now he's just an ass. So much for being civil. Sorry it had to enter this thread, folks. Some people's parents just shouldn't have been allowed to breed.

    I lost part of my right hand in an industrial accident on board ship. Because of my rating as a machinist, even a nuc, it meant that I could no longer handle tools properly. The Navy, in its infinite wisdom decided I was no longer needed.
    In that case you have my apology. As I said it was the impression I got from your reply to Dons post that your handicap was not service related. I hope they took and continue to take good care of you then. Please excuse this jarhead for speaking out of turn. Thats why I was hiding behind that couch.

    The humble bit was supposed to be funny. And yuour right why would I attack a conservative. Lighten up. I made a big enuff ass of myself.

    Seems you posted this while I was posting my aplogoy. No need to be so hostile. I didnt personally insult you at anytime. You not only insulted me but my parents. Now its your turn to admit you were wrong.

    Thats what I was trying to do by apologising. I dont hold any grudges against anyone here. Its only talk between people who never have nor ever probably will ever meet. I said I behaved like an ass what more would you have me do?
