Andy & Jim:
1) Andy, you're right; I SHOULD have responded to Jim via his e-mail; I was probably simply responding to your (sometimes rather aggressive!) attitude, Jim!
2) In NO WAY did I mean to disparage you, Jim, or your military service; I'm fairly new to this site, so was not aware (thanks for the info, Andy!) that yours had been questioned a while ago. Yup, I was 4F - but my Dad did his time in the USAF. Anybody who considers himself a student of history (& most of us here do) quickly learns what's involved when you serve in the military - particularly in wartime (sorry if it's not firsthand).
3) I do/did NOT intend to get in a pissing contest here or anywhere else - I simply enjoy the back-&-forth of info & opinions. If I HAVE fallen into a pissing contest, you can be sure that I'll make an effort to avoid it next time. And I apologize - I'm not one of those a__holes who enjoys getting in on-line arguments.
4) Jim, try & be a little more flexible with others opinions, though - will ya? Based on a number of earlier posts, I'm certain I'm not the Lone Ranger on this issue.
5) For me, this thread is dead.
Regards
Mike
