Wait...you're talking about ME?
Peter, in my 4 1/2 years on this forum I have made frequent mention of my 21 years of active duty service in the Navy. 'Retirednsmilin' and I have gone back and forth comparing military histories on at least one occasion. Where the hell is this coming from?

I thought you were making a joke about the old Soviet veterans...that you were being sarcastic about their "never [having] served". Am I giving you too much credit for having a sense of humor?
The big question is - Why did you feel it necessary, in the middle of a thread about military-themed photos, to take a (totally wrong and unjustified) snipe at someone whom you thought, incorrectly, had not served in the military?
