You sure do personalize everything and do a lot of nasty, hostile lashing out for no reason, for instance the way you have posted to me and others on this thread.
I just wanted some clarification of the word “operator”, sometimes your descriptions of what seem to be a pretty normal time in the military, seem to get a little exuberant, for instance while the rest of us Cold War vets served under Reagan, or Nixon, or Carter, you seemed to be the one that President Reagan should have been describing you in his memoirs as the indispensable one, as you post things comparing yourself to others such as, “”Please regale us with your contributions to President Reagan’s legacy””,for you it isn’t merely serving under Reagan as a GI, it is portraying yourself as an irreplaceable part of the Reagan administration.
