Hey Dan - I think that most of us view the comments placed and received here as being fundamentally impersonal. So your remarks are addressed in that context.

I respect your personal choices and actions in context of your occupation (been there - done that) on an individual level, as do most Americans, but there is a distinction between that respect and the subjective view of the military actions of our government. And the expression of those subjective views is much more important in a free society than the need to pat you and yours on the back for "givin' one for the gipper"

Can you understand the difference?

OK - we all tight here...
