When you make a coherent point I will happily respond to it. I don't do trolls.
Gee, first she calls me a rabid attack dog, now I'm a troll.
Here's one point. You claim, "I don't see why people should be offended by the truth." Do you stand by your statement that you don't understand why anyone is offended here?
Here's another. Are you saying that when you posted this, the idea that you were minimizing Cleland's sacrifice to our country honestly didn't occur to you at all? Even with your original title?

I still see no "point." I see a question. Kind of a dumb question at that. Yes, I don't see why anyone would be offended by the truth.
As I have said here and my last posts indicate, Cleland himself *used to* minimize his war record. Now he is inflating it so as to be used as a bludgeon against Bush.
"Here's another. Are you saying that when you posted this, the idea that you were minimizing Cleland's sacrifice to our country honestly didn't occur to you at all? Even with your original title?"
No, it's still not a point. It's a question. And the answer is still, no. I did not think that pointing out the facts of Cleland's service was minimizing it. How can it be?
It is no more minimizing his service to state the length as it is minimizing Bush's service to say he was in the National Guard. Facts are stubborn things.
What I do see is a bunch of people, including you, who can't wait to jump on people with your self-righteousness.
I don't mind that. But an important element to effective self-righteousness is being right. Better luck next time!
