Actually, it's exactly what you said in the last sentence of post 16:
You do not get to make fun or, in any way stand in judgement of our wounded soldiers on the field of battle.
I'm not a flag burner, draft dodger, or chickenhawk. I did my time in the service. Not everyone who serves or steps foot on the battlefield is or was a hero. Military service or wounds suffered during that time doesn't equal blanket immunity.
I’ve reread my remarks very carefully. Where did I use the phrase “you didn’t have the right speak”?
Perhaps you misunderstood when I said “You do not get to make fun”. I meant you don’t get to make fun with out challenge from me. Everyone has a right to say degrading things and everyone has a right to call them on it.
So now that we all know our rights, answer for your comments about Cleland. Being a veteran you should be sensitive to wounded warriors like Cleland. Oh BTW, he got the Silver and Bronze Stars, them’s fer heroes. You were saying something about your time in the service......
