ansell, your assumptions, and characterizations about me could not be more inaccurate.

Nearly every high ranking female officer who has ever confided in me, expressed regrets about the sacrifices they had to make to achieve their positions. Very few had anything resembling a normal family life; most had never married or had children. That leaves many women feeling unfulfilled later in life.

My wife and I have both reminded young women who are thinking about a career in the military about the sacrifices that it takes to achieve a high position. I am not sure how that fits in with the “left’s goal of feminizing the military”. NO one who has ever known me has ever accused me of being a liberal or a leftist.

NO women has ever been physically dominant over me. I am however completely confident in my masculinity and not afraid to share stories of women who have been very good at their jobs.

I have been very fortunate in my life to have met many people who have been in harms way on numerous occasions, people who have been more than willing to make the ultimate sacrifice if need be... true heroes. I invited you to a retired officers meeting this coming Saturday evening where you likely would have met some of these men. None of them would treat people that they don't know with the level of disrespect that you do. When a person finds themselves in situations where one’s survival is far less than certain... promises tend to be made to God that prevent one from behaving badly in the future.

I am not able to recount many of my experiences in a forum such as this. I have been through much that I only discuss with trusted friends who have had similar experiences. I am sorry but I am not willing to even start down that road with a rude person who shares nothing but “troll nonsense” and whose only joy seems to come from trying to impugn the reputations and sacrifices that have been made by others. Your behavior here has been truly reprehensible.

Thanks for describing neurotic unfulfilled women, and this time they are not seeking to beat up Vietnam vets or shaming you physically.

Why won't you answer if you have ever served in the military?

You are wasting time dealing with this fool.

One thing to note is that he was in basic in the mid 60’s. That makes him at least 70 years old. Probably single, certainly disabled, and living in the old, old past. He reads a lot, but has no clue what life is like today. The youngest people he sees on a daily basis are the “colored” girls who bring him his steamed spinach.

He is not worth your time. Really.
