    @ jamiso and lolcait

    Jamiso, excellent response. Leave it to someone with actual experience of war to put a chickenhawk in his place.

    Advice to lolcait: using disparaging nicknames marks you as one or more of the following:

    1. A Republican troll. I've got (too) many Republican relatives and for some reason those on that side of the aisle so to speak seem quick to resort to ad hominem attacks, name-calling, and such. Might be because they, like you are

    2. Someone who doesn't have a solid argument.

    3. Uneducated and/or ignorant.

    If, in my experience, such people weren't severly lacking in self-knowledge, I'd ask you to satisfy my curiousity as to which of the above applies to you.

    Too bad my first post here is responding to such dreck.
