Fortunately, Dick, the rest of us don't require your assent for Tom to be
respected and admired for his service, or for his devotion to protecting
civil liberties here at home.
Tom and other veterans didn't "manage to get injured," and their injuries
usually amount to more than "a piece of rice in the buttocks," as you
referred to John Kerry's war wounds. Our country put them in harm's way and
they served valiantly. I'll never in my life do anything that dangerous or
that grueling, and whether you have or not, you are now worthy of nothing
but scorn.

Matt,
I am not accusing Tom of anything or taking anything away from him. He
posts this picture of himself, on crutches and in uniform. I simply asked
what happened to him and he goes off into never-never-land over it. That
leads me to believe he is a phony. Is he trying to play war hero just
because he managed to get himself injured while serving in the armed forces?
I can't think of any other reason he would get so defensive when I simply
asked if he cared to share the story of his injury with us, since he posted
the picture.
He served his country in the military. Good for him, I respect that. But
if he is trying to make us all think he is some kind of war hero just
because he has a picture of himself on crutches, in uniform... well, I have
little respect for that.
Dick S.
