If you're talking about me, and I assume you are, yes, I sit at home. I have MS, so am not eligible to enlist. Does that make me less qualified to ask you to not disrespect any members of the military? I suppose so, to you. I included information of members of my family as my own "disclaimer" to let you know why I used the term "soldiers." I wasn't patting myself on the back.
In the nuances of those who belong to the military, which I obviously cannot understand as a mere civilian and mother, apparently I need to ask permission of those who do belong, not to criticize the dead. I don't recall asking you to ask MY permission to speak as you did. And I never told you how to "feel." I don't buy into Gestalt, sorry. I merely asked you politely not to make jokes about dead Marines by referring to them as "not smart enough to get into the Army." Did that really merit this much hostility towards me?
Second, again, and for the last time, I was not being critical of the dead. Call me what you will, but please stop saying THAT!
Third, I know Marines pretty well and would point out that I pegged what happened before it was reported, they were fooling around with a captured RPG.
Last, you do not need my permission to say, nor do as you will. I do ask that you allow me the same, and at least try to understand the way I meant my words, coming from my world, and my background.
