Jason,
First of all, Thank you, sir, for your much valued service.
Second, don't expect too much of a response from CRH. Reading doesn't seem to be one of his strengths. Nor does giving an answer to any questions posed to him. It's becoming more and more apparent that he's nothing more than a functioning (questionable) illiterate.
For whatever reason, he is bitter towards the military and just can't seem to get past it. My only guess is that somehow, somewhere he was, in HIS opinion, wronged by either a branch of the military, or by some servicemember. To harbor such resentment towards something the way he does the military just can't be healthy for this little guy. I think I'm actually starting to feel sorry for him.
Last, keeping in step with Eric's kind offer for the next time I'm in Pittsburgh, I'd love to buy you a cold one if you're ever up in the Atlanta area. And of course, this invitation is extended to ANY past or present servicemember that posts here. Heck, I'm feeling so benevolent right now, I think I'd even buy CRH a beer,..........naahhhhh!
Randy
