I'd prefer TGO answer the question I asked him rather than a smartass comment from you. Thanks.
Maybe you should stop trying to make a big deal out of how he choose to phrase his thank you. TGO was trying to express his gratitude for a soldier who sacrificed his legs and hand for this country and your going to piss on his post because a word ruffled your fur! My comment wasn't meant to be "smartassed". My point was that if he wants to say thanks in that manner he should be able to without seeking your approval first.
ANY thanks they get is the least we can do!
I didn't want a big deal. I asked him a question and you and others decided to make it a big deal. I don't want to piss on his post, as I said I agree with it. I have friends and family in the military. Yes, he should and did say thanks in any manner he wanted to. I was just asking him a question. I know there are soldiers (a cousin of mine being one) that would be offended by that the use of that word. Although TGO's gratitude would be appreciated by any soldier, it is probably more effective to not use something that could be offensive to the person he is wanting to thank. That would just be common sense to me IMHO. Sorry TGO that every one got worked up over my question. I'll stay outta this thread now.

Just so you could post a stupid reply and miss the point as usual.

About god damn time!
Yes, I happened to catch this last night as well. Your post TGO summed my feelings up perfectly! I thought about that guy on MSNBC as well when I was watching. The kid was so calm like he was just going to deal with it and move on. Very emotional show that every American needs to watch!!

Krammit, it was obviously a literary transgression utilized for emphasis - not to be taken literally.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Crap, South Georgia evidently got their dial-up back. It'd been so peaceful around here too...
TGO--preach on brotha!

In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.

TGO - I echo your sentiments, even though I didn't get a chance to watch the show.

Heh, nice burn.
And I'm surprised MTV had the sensitivity to show something like that.

i caught this, and the part that pissed me off was when one of the guys went to visit his brother in the reserves, and the first thing his friends asked the guy back from iraq was "how many people did you kill?" I thought that guy was a complete jackass, i dont know from experience, but i think the soldiers reaction to the question was very appropriate for such a stupid, childish thing to say.
