I really don't know what to say. You are exactly correct in your words. For the things we whine and complain about at work mean nothing in the larger scheme of life in the military.
Do not misread me, I too came from a military family, and I'm in this for the long-haul. While I have experienced no war, thankfully, I would not hesitate to go into battle for this country.
I do appreciate you sharing those words with me. And I will share them with others.
And to answer your question, no, I would not like to ask about the hypocrisy of a person accepting, from this administration, 100% compensation for conditions directly caused by injuries suffered in combat against enemies of this country, I rather choose to salute you.

There are many in the club. Some of us wear mouse ears. As honorary newest member, you can wear mouse ears or choose not to. Just make sure you dont join the ranks of the RUDOSDA's like some have.

Oh. Im sorry. I neglected to 'splain. Most RUDOSDA's are female, but some can be male, but rare. Me, I am a former RUDOSDA. I dont like that club anymore.
RUDOSDA= Raise Up Dust Off Slap Down Again.
Rudis, for short.

Actually, all of this business about fav.
etc. did not apply... I just thought that he was a friendly and very helpful fellow. He helped me out when I was on the verge of being kicked off auctionwatch with some good advice. That is the only relationship that I had with krs. And that is why, I cannot understand the attack tonight over such a trivial problem. I thought that I was being helpful by answering the question posed by Deuce.

Since you voted these criminals into the White House, I place the responsiblility squarely where it belongs -- on the people who voted them into office. Bush rolls back pollution protection standards and kids get sick and killed from it -- that's your fault!
I love the rants of the extreme left and the extreme right
They chew the carpet and become quite an impressive sight
Most political statements are old, dull, trite, and some tame
But some make me question from which planet they came
Some political people get upset, and some will get irate
still others aren't alarmed, in fact they remain quite sedate
When Borillar informs me of the coming doom, frauds and lies
I find I'm at a loss for words, I can do little but roll my eyes

Between the good and the bad, How much is the difference? What others fear, one should also fear -- What a silly notion! Whither will it lead? Merrily, merrily, the multitude is rejoicing, As if feasting after the Great Sacrifice, As if mounting the Terrance of Love. I alone remain indifferent and show no emotion, Like an infant as yet unable to smile. Wandering aimlessly, I look like a homeless tramp. The Multitude all have enough and to spare; I alone seem to be left on the wayside. Oh, my mind is indeed like that of an idiot! So dull, so dull I feel. The worldlings are bright and cheerful; I alone feel gloomy and dismal. The worldlings are smart and self-confident; I alone feel disgusted and depressed. Restless like the sea, I drift along as if never able to settle down. The multitude all have some worthy employment; I alone am stubborn and worthless. I alone differ from other people, And love to draw nourishment from the Creator.
