Mr. Arnold -

Your last posting reflect your definite lack of maturity.

You feel you have the right to criticise a disably retired veteran such as
myself (a lifetime member of DAV as a result of a training accident) without
having served one day in uniform.  You expect me to side with you simply
because your father apparently had less maturity than you (if that is
possible).

You hadn't had the "pleasure" of your father's company until you were 12.  I
know of several veterans whose children never got any closer to them than
rubbing their fingers over a name on a wall in Washington DC.  And you
consider yourself a patriot?

According to your last posting, it reflects more bravery to write letters
than it does to put on the uniform for 20 years.  Have you even visited a
military installation?  Have you even writen a solder?  Or do you restric
your immature banter to this forum and hide behind the comfort of your
keyboard.

Pro Patria,

Tom Hansen
SFC, US Army (Retired)
