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.




I'm not offended. I know exactly what he was trying to get across. I know of several people who have sinced passed because of the choices they have made. The choice being to sign up and be apart of something bigger than they could have possibly dreamt. Being apart of history and writing it as we live our daily lives. As an American I feel and understand the daily struggles it takes to be in the United States Military. And as a soldier I know first hand the heartache people go through when the people they know and love are no longer with us. Let them have their peace...
