You obviously are not familiar with my wartime record.

Yes I am. You and I have sparred before. I admire what you have done and I was one of the few who told you so when I saw you at the airport. That was when others are spitting on you.

However, being a hero one time doesn't make you a hero forever. In fact, because you are a hero, society expects more from you.

My point is, that you and your kind, perhaps because of your background, sit behind a keyboard and demand that things be fixed right now, according to you proscription, without regard for the political and practical realities of life. There is no Santa or Easter Bunny. We can't wish things into being. We have opponents who want things differently than we do.

I admire you for what you were and for what you did but, unfortunately for some, time marches on. You can't just sit at home and be Macho Man and make things better in the real world, today.
