Ah, Kevmo - you're not just a phony, you're a funny phony. To be a member of that brotherhood, you have to actually join that brotherhood first, undergo the necessary transformation into a member of that team and then suffer: lousy climate, long sleepless days and nights away from family and undergo day after day not knowing if it's your last. You have to see your fellow soldiers/Marines killed and maimed around you, month after month. And when and if you you make it back, you have to experience the bad dreams, the sadness that never leaves you.

There are prices we pay to be part of that brotherhood - and in many cases, parts of our bodies gone - that we have to live with, accommodate, for the rest of our lives.

You, on the other hand, want to consider yourself an authority before all of us yet you have not experienced anything - and while citing Jesus, slip quickly into the Potty Mouth mode at every chance.

Yes, I am a member of an elite group - those who have survived direct combat (and wounds) for his country.

That means that you should listen when we discuss what it takes to fight and survive.

Like I said, jerkwads like you turn this noble thing into an elitist exercise in gaining some kind of privilege in society. It’s as plain as day.

Kiss off, jerk.
