Allan, you do get a bit much with yourself at times. However, because you are so intelligent, my guess is that gets in your way. The way Flu brags about cars, is the way you brag about special ops etc. Allen, I think you are quite brilliant, it is just the way you come across sometimes. Remember, message boards….we don’t have the ability to see non-verbal communication and tone of voice.
I totally support the military. It is a wonderful institution to help mold people, give them discipline, character and responsibility. And, that is what Allan is talking about…he has integrity. He will take his training to the grave, and pass on that discipline and responsibility to his children. (Just please don’t be the Great Santini)
I enjoy ScaredyCat’s postings too. He also has critical thought.
People range in grays….I support guns (yes, we have a few) and yet those that know my field would say I am a liberal. Little do they know, and they would make assumptions based on my profession. Can’t all of us accept that people do not fit into a box created by the media?
