I've done my time, T. And I'm too old now to be going through the grind of military life. But I did six years and I was sent to the Middle East where I saw fellow sailors get killed.

I am not a military-minded person and did not enjoy military life but I did six active years without complaint. i expect every man to serve his country.

I don't have any children but if they supported this war, I would expect them to fight in it.

But the idea that helping Mitt Romney get elected in any way equates what a soldier in Iraq goes through is insulting and patronizing and wholly unbecoming of anyone who considers themselves patriotic.

But I fully expected your cowardly defense of the indefensible. And don't tell you servedc because you obviously did not.
