[Vision2020] government checks? please!

[Donovan Arnold]

Tom,
  
  Once again, I appreciate your taking a bullet in the head for this country.
  
  However, my attacks against you, were AFTER you attacked my Father and  his service in the Military. He is your superior officer, an 0-5, and  who did  much for this country and his work has saved the lives  many 10000s of soldiers and the innocent, most notably, with providing  the electronic components for the Tomahawk Cruise missile.
  
  You attack my father, mother, sister, brother, cousin, or any relative  and I only called you a couch potato??? Hey, you are lucky. I must have  been having a good day, eh?
  
  The immaturity here Hansen, is you going after my Father, a military veteran, because you don't like me.
  
  That was way over the line and I responded, when I should just wrote  you off, with an equally offensive comment to you. Which apparently it  was because you have not shut up about it for 2 1/2 years.
   
  DO NOT MAKE FUN OF MY FATHER. And I will not call your war buddies dead  beats that deserved to get shot in some pointless war. I believe anyone  that hangs out with a grunt in the military that called you a friend  could not possible  be a  hero if all they make fun of the  people that design the planes and weapons that cover your ass from  enemy fire.
  
 I am so sick, of you playing the "I was in the  military" card. I don't give a rat's ass. I only care if you actually  did something when you were there. Anyone can put on a uniform. How  many pedophiles, rapists, murderers, traitors, former Nazis, and other  useless pieces of garbage have been in the military? Wearing a   military uniform does not make you a hero, Bush wore a military  uniform, it is what you do while wearing the uniform that makes you a  hero.  
  
 All you have done with your military service  Mr. Hansen is use it to try and say that you are always right about  everything, and to put down many of your superior officers and fellow  solders. 
  
 So stop telling me you were in the military, I  don't give a shit. You were in the military, so what. You joined an  organization which you knew at the time  was carpet bombing little  kids with napalm in Asia, whoopee! 
  
  Regards,
  
  _DJA

This is nothing new from Arnold.  This is the same idiot that made a similar 
(almost identical) joke concerning two close friends of mine killed in 
Vietnam.

At that time the discussion on V2020 concerned General Wesley Clark and his 
(Gen Clark's) candidacy for president.  I had mentioned that I was assigned 
to Fort Irwin under then Colonel Wesley Clark (Chief, Operations Group, Fort 
Irwin, Calif) (remembering it now, Arnold??).  The discussion expanded to 
include places I had served and friends I had known.  Throughout this 
discussion Arnold was providing his "colorful" commentary about how I was a 
couch potato and how friends of mine couldn't be any better.  I mentioned 
John Wiggins and Dale Roderick and mentioned that they were both killed in 
Vietnam.  Arnold responded with words to the affect that they were probably 
the two biggest couch potatoes in the Army.

So, you see, keely.  Arnold hasn't chaned one iota in the past couple years. 
  A skunk may change its stripes, but the smell long endures.
