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......

As I said before: Not everyone who served is a hero. Additionally, a medal doesn't automatically mean a you're a hero. Plenty of awards that were undeserved have been handed out in every conflict. More than a few come to mind, but you can probably think of some yourself. Additionally, Cleland didn't receive the Purple Heart for his injuries. I wonder why (that's rhetorical, incidentally).

I mentioned my time in the service just to make the point I was not someone on the outside looking in. My service was honorable, but generally unremarkable, as most people's are. It's not generally something I discuss, nor is it something I feel the need to advertise in a tagline.

As for my comments, I don't think I have to answer for anything, especially to you. Your rightgeous indignation is a joke. You don't like it. You've made that point and I'm unconcerned.

Move on. I am.
