I guess me and you were posting around the same time. I typed this response to yours before you had a chance to defend yourself and it took me a longer time to post. I guess I owe you a apology Erik .

Their sacrifice is what enables us to enjoy the privlage of being pompous asses without fear of being censored - no matter how offensive, self-sanctimonious or condescending the opinions we present may appear. They continue to defend our freedom, which includes our God-given right to make complete asses of ourselves in public whenever the spirit moves us.
Thank you, SSG Edwards, for committing to defend countrymen that aren't always as grateful, informed, or thoughtful of your sacrifice as they should be. Regardless of our personal feelings of why you're over there - away from your family and the comforts of home, through the holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. - I want to send you and every service-person over there a personal wish for good health, success in your mission, and a swift and safe return to your home and family. I hope there's a shiny new '08 Dodge Challenger sitting at the dealership waiting for you upon your return. God bless you all.
Feel free to critique my post - I took a chance by not using a grammer or spell checker. [

Ditto, Boot camp. I am not in the army and while at times I do not agree with the Commander-in-Chief, I do support the troops whom are under his command. My uncle served during Vietnam and returned home, with a mind that was due to things he saw, did, and endured. And still they are people whose families are essentially houseless (I don’t like the term home-less, many "homeless" people consider the area that they live in as their home) while man or woman is defending our country. Imagine coming home after the worst hell you can imagine to a Repo sign and a pink slip. You don’t need to be able to read well to see that something is wrong with this story. And you Erik, ought to be ashamed of what you said to someone who is risking capture, torture, and death while you type insults over a website for a car you would most likely not be able to enjoy if not for his sacrifice and that of countless others. And you called SSG Edwards the unintelligent one. I am sorry SSG Edwards, and I hope you do not take the words of one to stand for the feelings for all. And, I apologize for not "defending" you earlier, I let the first slide because I believe in turning the other cheek, the problem is after your first hit you are almost out of cheeks. If you can risk your life for your countrymen the least your countrymen can do for you is defend you from foolish insults. You picked the sword in our defense; let us pick up the pen in yours.
