Oh NOW it's about the FDA, thought it was about hating me. Then by all means, finally do what should've happened pages back.
I didn't ask to discuss it, you want to hate me for saying something then call evidence for it bullshit then scapegoat me as the cause of all the hate, fine. Go back to the FDA, all it would've taken was for people to hold their tongue over a damned piece of fabric.
Go to a real VA Bar. See how many give a fuck about the flag, you'll be surprised.
I've never been to any of those bars.
I don't recommend you do man, it's all freshies who haven't been deployed bringing guests, who are almost always some 18 year old girl with them to be 'impressed'.
The thing is, if you served in Vietnam, godspeed. You were probably forced, and I have untold respect for you. Even if not, that was something that demands respect. The 'war' I fought in, I regret being there, but the one thing I took home was serving with the people beside me.
I made a choice to serve in a war that didn't need to be fought, and, I did things over there I won't forget. I don't see myself as a hero, I see myself as the opposite as that word. I don't expect anything, it was just a part of my comment.
Yes I said hateful shit, disrespectful shit, right back to people who started saying that shit to me over an opinion I hold. Fine, but then I'm the problem over OPINIONS. It takes two, or in this case many, to tango. I wasn't looking for hate, wasn't looking for shit. I made a comment I thought relevant, I have a mind and I will speak it. I will not apologize for that. Move on then, like you should have.
Feel free to HATE the shit out of me, but don't act like I'm the sole cause for having an opinion I was attacked en mass for having, then don't call me a troll for defending myself. I expected shit to go on as it had. Really, I did.
