I do not ask such personal questions of you or anyone else. I prefer to keep on the subject matter. Rest assured that I did indeed do my turn in the military as did most of us here on FR.

I cannot understand why such information would be of interest to anyone. I have no interest if others served, when or where, etc etc.

Then I would suggest you not make these kinds of challenges to someone who is a vet:

If you read your post 38, it is a reflection of your original post, talking about something you have zero knowledge of.

Sitting in your easy chair and directing a war thousands of miles away indeed must be stressful. My view is that if you are not there and had nothing to do with the affair, dont second guess those that are there. Very easy to condemn others as you and others have done. Having served in the military means nothing when you rant on and on with no facts to substantiate your diatribe.

Service? Most likely before you were born so that childish characterization will not wash either. Turn your venom towards the enemy, not towards someone that is there while you sit at home.

---------

Or say something like this:

You do the military a great disservice. Personally I saw many in the military that were carbon copies of you. That type are always there and have to be tolerated.

-----------

If you are not willing to provide at least a thumbnail of your service, you ain't in any position to say this kind of stuff to a vet who is, quite frankly.
