As I said, the conversation is over since Junkie is too anal retentive to even realize how insulting he is. The most frustrating thing in the world (and the least productive) is to argue with an idiot.

I thank God (and every Soldier or Vet I see) every day for them & what they do. I thank them because they are intellegent enough to think for themselves because that is what makes them the most effective fighting unit the world has ever known.

Did I choose that path for myself? No. Was I too chicken to sign up for the life they chose? No. I decided long ago (22+ years ago) that I could help them more by working for them where I am at. One Soldier actually told me that he was alive today because of the equipment I put in his hands. It was very gratifying but meant nothing in comparison to what he did for me.

I can't state it eloquently or strongly enough so I hope that simplicity will be enough. THANK YOU VETS.
