I think they were just taken the wrong way. I can't believe, after a year of reading CH's posts, he meant to insult this Vet. I guess we have all posted things that seemed funny at the time, yet did not go over well in print.
Charles is the kind of guy that will feel really bad that anyone would have taken his jokes the wrong way, especially this Marine. We all know that it was not his intention to make fun of this young man.
