Hmmmmm.
I think. LOL.
Congrats on your long military heritage.
I did not come to this place in time where I can indulge myself in reading this entire thread so far, and then look up certain things posted here because of my Dad's, or my son's military experiences.
I was raised as a Catholic, and just about as soon as I became of (16 or so) age, I made it my business to do some reading on a few things.
I stopped defining myself as a "Catholic" more than 30 years ago, because of the things that I had read, and learned.
I made it my business to study hard on these matters.
It is OK with me that folks want to debate on the relevant issues.
This has been a wonderful thread so far.
