Well, I must say that I know this poster, and I know him to be honorable. That is why I was surprised when this post was put up. This person also suffered a terribly unfair attack on him once before that caused him, I believe and stand to be corrected, to give up his membership. While we don't agree on some things, in the main I feel a kinship to him, and that is why I wrote what I wrote. It caught me off guard.

I apologize sincerely for the condescending nature of the post above. While I stand by my opinion of the "Swift Boat Veterans" and their disgraceful attack on Kerry's honorable service, based on what I know of this poster, I should have known him to simply be giving honor to the heroic service that these women gave to this country and to their brothers and sisters.

Old buddy (said with sincerity), I hope you will accept my apology.

Mick
