We thank you for your husband’s service and for your support of him. I am sorry if I misunderstood that your comments which were addressed to me were actually meant for someone else.
I mentioned the volunteer work that we do to indicate where we are coming from, not to try and get some type of praise or admiration from you or anyone else here. Recognition from high command is not given to people who have made only casual commitments to the type of work that we do. Your dismissive comments, “(rolling eyes)”, “la-ti-da” and trying to somehow make us feel bad, indicates to us only the type of person that you seem to be inside. We are the type of people who spend a major part of our time getting out and doing for others. I don’t really consider that something that should be made fun of; even if we do have disagreements here.
If a girl came in with that haircut they would assume she had discovered her inner dyke and leave her be
No, those comments indicate the contempt for bragging about your (and wife’s) connection with the military. I would otherwise be proud and thankful for someone like you. Maybe you weren’t aware of your condescending tone? I wasn’t trying to make you feel bad, actually I didn’t think it would affect you. It just struck me wrong.
don’t worry about the kind of person I am inside, which is not shown by a few words here.
Ok, I’m done. I can’t type too long at a time, usually. :)
