Raising Their Dander...

I always respond to stuff like this publicly. An anonymous (they never use their name when they can't write) commenter said:

"why don't you put your patriotism where your mouth is and go enlist?

our military needs the help, and you are just the god-fearing, applepie eating, super patriot they need to help win the war on terror.

btw, osama ain't in iraq.

f**king republicans.

jeesh"

(Another dead giveaway is the failure to use capital letters--it probably took them a half hour to peck this out with two fingers--at least they can spell)

My answer: I did enlist voluntarily in 1977 in the Navy reserve and served active duty time in the Phillipines on a helicopter carrier, before medical problems ended my aspirations to be a fighter pilot so that I could bomb the ass off of our enemies.

I was subject to being called up for active duty until I was 35 years old, and I would have gone without reservation if they had called me.

At the age of 46, and suffering from a number of medical problems that have taken away my private pilots license among other things I used to do, the military would not take me if I asked them.

I do like apple pie (I bake my own), I do fear God, but you're wrong--I'm just a regular patriot--not a "Super Patriot."

Regarding my political affiliation--I'm a Libertarian that chooses to vote Republican, and I've never once stated that I believe that Osama is in Iraq.

Anything else you want to know?
