A. This is America, military and non-military alike speak their piece.
B. Are you suggesting that because the gent is former military that no one may disagree with his assertion?
Now did I say that? No.
What I did say was that calling his patriotism into question
because of his correct assertion was uncalled for.
I believe this man has proven his unquestionable patriotism.
I said that he had “earned” the right to say these things
and what I meant by this was that he has been endowed his
right to speak by our creator, God. But when one applies
his own blood to that right in combat, he or she has double
stamped it. That's just my opinion and if you don't agree with it, it's of no concern to me.
