Sir, I would like to think that someone of your advanced age and experience would perhaps be above such broad strokes. As I can never say what your life was like, you cannot do the same with me.
I was mature enough to be responsible for multimillion dollar equipment and led men in the service of my nation.
I also lead men and women in a police department, have been entrusted with their care and maintenance if you will and had a diverse and fulfilling career that is not quite over.
I am as sober in my daily and professional life as the pope and while I doubt your sincere pity, I really will be ok. So grieve not...
Don't bother replying, as you can say nothing that will whitewash your obvious bigotry and intolerance. I note you seem to "know" all about the facts in the case, by reading somebody's palm...
My eldest son is a LT in OK. I know your type well, and I doubt you could lead a parade of ducks!
