They think all there is to living is

How dare you!

Moments ago, I just left a retirement ceremony for one of my best friends retiring as a Lt Col USAF. We stood together under the flag of the United States as the national anthem played. One of my thoughts was of all the flag draped coffins and national anthems being played for the heroes that have died over the past year. Some of my friends are over there right this minute. Very moving and poignant moment.

I have spent the better part of my adult life (with a brief hiatus to NASA) defending this nation both in and out of uniform. I stood many a watch during the cold war both in various control rooms and crammed in the back seat of F4s waiting for the Soviets to push thru the Fulda Gap. I also assisted during that terrible day now referred to as 9/11.

And to be called a Marxist and/or communist?

What an evil affront! /rant off.

You two are simply amazing. I can tell by the poster's comment which you, RA, cherry picked, that he is referring to an after life, yet you two elected to make it about military service and honorable pursuits in this life.

LOL! Still losing sleep over lil' ol' me RA?

I never knew that any criticism directed toward you or the other johnny-one-note Darwinists was actually an affront to the entire United States military!

BTW, does cussing me out in a FR mail somehow strengthen your argument?

LOL. You can borrow my vinaigrette, Scarlett. Maybe you'd better loosen a few strings.

Then you can tell me who's the sugar daddy of DC.

They think all there is to living is hat can be found in the few short years we have here on earth



Everything you listed happened or is happening
or will happen is THIS life did it not?
I am talking about the next life.
What happens then RA?
What happens when you take your last breath?
And please show me where I called you a Marxist and/or communist.
