There's absolutely nothing in MEGoody's posting history that justifies your interpretation.

Except his own recent comments. It's part of a larger pattern here. Look at the attacks on McStain and his service. It's not some isolated event or about Kerry alone. Hence, it is relevant to what I said about the loss of many FR vets to our forum. In the meantime, people throw rocks at the only candidates who did serve and cling with joyous abandon to the candidates who pointedly avoided service. Like Rudy/Mitt/Fred. Apparently, avoiding military service is a prime qualification for being commander-in-chief these days.

I think many people at FR don't like vets unless they join the latest little chorus line. I recall when Colonel David Hackworth was a great hero around here because he offered some token resistance to the . Every little written bowel movement he emitted was Front Page news. In the end, he turned out to be a lib and then you all hated him. Some of us tried to tell people that there were strong indications that he wasn't what they thought he was. But I guess he sold a few books and made some money off some media appearances and then everyone trashed him.

Of course, the most recent incident was the Matt Sanchez incident. What a hero he was! Until the full story came out. What a sad little event that was. And yet, he did serve honorably despite his lurid past before military service and he was in fact being abused by the Lefties on campus for his military service. Another vet loved and now hated by so many of those who just love "the troops".

Sure, we love the troops. It's the vets that don't fare so well, it seems. But even the DUmmies and the libs all claim the same, don't they?

I'm proud to support Ron Paul, a combat flight surgeon who served honorably and who served beyond his Air Force commitment in the Texas Air Guard. He actually cares about the troops during their service and even after they become vets. Of course, that's probably a strike against him around here any more.

Duncan Hunter has stellar credentials as a veteran. Additionally, he has not shrunk from having his son also serve.

I think he's far and away the best candidate in the race. However, I don't think he'll compete unless he gets a huge infusion of cash. It's the same for Congressman Paul.

Their chances of winning are remote.

First, I'm a 'her'.

Second, it's a shame you feel driven to try to twist and turn what I have said in an effort to make it sound like something other than what I have clearly stated. I have no idea why you wish to be so dishonest.

Hence, it is relevant to what I said about the loss of many FR vets to our forum.

I'll say again, no veteran of good character would think it a good idea to give someone a pass for the rest of their lives on all they do and say just because they served in the military at one point in their lives.

I'm proud to support Ron Paul

Then I have to tell you, your attempts at misrepresenting what I've said don't reflect well on your candidate.
