Well said GUEST,Peace Matriot. Same thing we are all saying - only this time you did it in a non-accusatory manner. Makes a big difference.

There is one little thing I'd like to address here though. Your Dad served because he chose it as the lesser of two evils. It was still a choice. And to say that it is different from those who signed up is a cop out and a disservice to that choice. I respect choices. Why people make them is none of my business.

I am glad you had a good weekend. I lucked out and was able to not work at anything except thowing some hay to horses and enjoyiong some fine friends. I can mow the yard tonight.
