I take offense at being labeled "brain washed", or even the implication of such.
Does two months in "boot camp" and four years of honorably serving our country amount to brain-washing more than a lifetime of religious teaching?
Aren't you brainwashing your children to accept your moral and religious beliefs?
At least mine was by choice and not due to the pressure of my parents and or family groups.

Larry, I would today defend your right to believe as you wish, and with my life if neccessary.
