Your contempt is either manifested in the comments directly attacking my military service or in the silence, which I perceive as acceptance, of the attacks made against me or anyone else who wore the uniform.
Err...
Bart, I vaguely recall you attacking my military service in a thread not too long ago, so I have trouble understanding why you're going off on this riff.
There are few things more boring than those who constantly bring up their military service. Alas, we live in dark times; and I find it convenient to wear my ARCOM lapel pin so that right wing nutjobs will STFU instead of questioning my patriotism. In the America of Our Dear Leader, vets have more 1st Amendment rights than others. Mind you, I'd still question the patriotism of anyone wearing a decoration on a TSA uniform: the cognitive dissonance would be too great. See you (and this thread) in OMNI!
