You know, you really need to read what I write better. I used the “IF” qualifier for my observation concerning his distortion of authority and superiority.

Making the assumption I slammed him for his military service is just silly, especially since I have immense respect for the US military and have been encouraging my teenage sons to serve in the US armed forces despite being Canadian.

Just as 90% of Americans and Canadians do not serve in the military, neither did I. I did serve an LDS mission. I wish I went into the military, but things happened and the opportunity passed.

You asked Godzilla if he was dishonorably discharged (apparently suggesting that you thought he was) in reference to his post - you are nothing if not an extremely typical Mormon apologist - always going below the belt. Attacking the messenger - modus operandi of someone without facts to back up their statements.... Disingenuous.

Nice try, but the ‘if’ qualifier isn’t related directly to the slam which was your accusation:

“Dishonorable discharge, eh?”

You really need to stop the spin and learn to write better. Or at least be intellectually honest.

And of course, every RM I know says “I wanted to serve in the military and I regret it now”. Even the LDS draft dodgers from ‘Nam.

That rings hollow since you make that snarky remark about his being dishonorably discharged.

It goes to show that you don't know what honor is with a low blow like that to him.
