Still not buying it. I may not personally served in the military, but I know quite a few who did and still do, and further, have been working for a Service in a civilian capacity for 16 years now on weapons systems for you guys to use.

I don't really care about your skepticism. I know that what I do is right and appreciated by others that serve their country and not quite so arrogant as you.

Well that sums it all up - YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE AS TO HOW SOME OF US FEEL ABOUT THIS SUDDEN RUSH OF PATRIOTISM. It doesn't matter who you know, or where you did your service at - YOU STILL DIDN'T get ordered to some sh*thole to fight for those who shunned you after you came home. I am not being arrogant, just honest and if you cannot appreciate it for what it is, then just shut up and open your ears for once. You must've not been around during the late 60's and early 70's. Either that or you were just off in some little cosmic egg of your own making. As far as your work goes, I worked on weapons systems for 20 years, and they have a 85% works as advertised rate. So that isn't too bad. But you still don't get the bigger picture ... its about those who still put down the military. So if I pissed on your parade, sorry bout that, but thats life. Like I've been told "Get over it."
