How wonderful for you. If you had read my post and seen who it was directed at... but no, that was too much bother...

I guess I was such a disgrace that I was in the Marine Corps from 1967 to 1993... and then got kicked out in shame and dishonor.... I was in Vietnam, too, bub. Were you? When the armchair commandos sent 58,000 people to come home in bodybags to no discernible effect and purpose? When people like Bobby MacNamara KNEW we could not win, yet hid that information from Congress and the President... THAT kind of civilian control? Or the kind that WON WWII because they had respect for the people who knew what they were doing and gave good advice to the decision makers?

My comment was addressed to the alleged chancellor palpatine, whoever that is... but it holds true for anyone wishing to send our kids off to die at the whim of a politician, especially when there are other ways to deal with the situation whereby we need NOT get bogged down in a situation that will most assuredly drag on and last decades. That is about the last thing we need to do.

I have already posted a suggestion for dealing with both Saddam AND the terrorists that could end the war in months, not years, and NOT continue the rape of the Constitution here at home. You might wanna check it out...

All of my earlier remarks stand. Your time in the Marines does not give you an free pass to be an bully in my book. I saw who your post was directed to. You thought that you could throw out the "I served, did you?" card on palpatine to shut him up. This is immoral. This is wrong. This is not honorable. Is it the Corps position that those who haven't served can not make decisions regarding war and peace?

BTW - I wasn't in Vietnam. I am too young. Are you now changing your position to say that if you haven't served in Vietnam your opinion doesn't count? I'm not buying 'bub'.

I get that you are bitter about what happened to you 30+ years ago. However, it's not an excuse for your bullying behavior.
