    Because the thread title is Veterans Day.

    Do you have an alternate thread OP in mind to promote your agenda? Then start one. I was honestly apologetic for the slight I perceived as giving you.

    I wasn't asking for an apology. What I'm curious about is why you decided to bring up my service at all. Does the truth of a proposition hinge on who says it? If a veteran said that two plus two equals five, would that make it true?

    Then, $#@! you for your dishonorable voluntary/drafted service that you signed-up for/were drafted into military service. Does that cover all your bases since 1966?

    You pick a weird scab to pick with me in a Veterans Day thank you thread dude. ????

    You're being needlessly defensive. I don't feel as if you need to apologize to me. I am merely trying to tell you that my service does not make any difference. What I said earlier would still be true even if I hadn't served. Your mistake wasn't denying my military service, it was thinking that service somehow informed the legitimacy of my position.

    Yes, well, at least I can have a discussion about politics without insulting other people.
