I BEG YOUR PARDON! Say what? I have violent tendencies because I served my 
country?
There are a hell of lot of people in uniform and damn few actually carry 
weapons. These days while occupying a country after we invaded it are a bit 
different but that's not what you said in that blanket statement.

That wannabe Marine in question is a nut, who else but a nut would do what 
he did? I'm just not sure what label to slap on someone who makes a 
statement like you did.
Hell you managed to even rope in all the people who were selected to serve 
or go to jail (up until  '72 or so as I recall. Remember the draft?).

I'm not surprised really (other than you'd say it out loud). There are 
those who expect others to take care of them, those who see the "Rights" 
but never manage to see the "Responsibilities" that ALWAYS goes along with 
the rights...

I'd also guess that you are sitting thinking of me as a dumbass who 
actually went in and risked my life on occasion when I didn't have to.
<Sigh>, there is no way to explain it.
