i don't think i said any of that or insinuated it. i'm just comparing the service of a soldier who fought in battle to a part time reservist and my interpretation of respect between the two.

I have far more respect for a man who did his service (even if it wasn't to be considered heroic) than a man who did an extra short-tour, received multiple purple hearts for minor wounds (cheapening the medals actual worth), and then came home to spout lies and spread hatred about the soldiers still risking their lives.



and you have a god given right to your opinion even if it doesn't agree with mine.
