Or maybe you think it is unfair that you are subject to someone greater than yourself, even though many who are greater than you serve day and night to make sure you enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Veteran, USN, Electronic Warfare Technician, USS Berkeley, DDG-15. I have well over a dozen cousins (lost track years ago) that either are veterans, or are currently serving this country. My nephew is on his second tour in Iraq. Both of my grandfathers were Navy. My father was 82nd Airborne. My stepfather was a Marine. Two of my uncles were in Vietnam, one in Cobras, the other on a Carrier.

Stuff it.

Oh, fester really stepped in it this time!

If any of the above had given up their lives personally to save my life eternally, I should say so. As it stands, only one Person has done that, and it happens to be One Whom you dismiss as irrelevant to your personal pursuits and philosophies.

I think heres a great lesson to learn...dont start knocking what one might perceive as a another posters lack of military experience either personally, or within their family....start doing that, and the person doing the knocking is likely to find themself, quite embarrassed by the true facts when they come out...
