So I recognize those who do serve with honor and a real appreciation of this country, and somehow this is "bashing" the military? *Right*
I suggest, Trip, that you reread the rules of the website I quoted concerning active duty members and veterans. Pay particularly close attention to the word "all"; the one I bolded and italicized for you.
Either way, it's no longer up to me to decide whether it was "right" or "wrong".
I can tell you for a fact that a know nothing civilian, who tries to use past association with real men of honor to burnish his own, has no place calling anyone in uniform an ignoramus nor insinuating that their service is anything but honorable.
That, sir, makes you less than the filth that inhabits DU.
You have no right, nor perspective, to question the service of any veteran since you did not have the balls to ruck up and stand the line yourself.
