What appears to me, to be wrong with what you say and the position you are backing is that the progressive in you, doesn't allow anyone else's experiences to be of value.
I didn't say, I was in Nam or hurt there, "Watchout" insulted a nam vet, you said "I couldn't have said it better myself" That was the insult.
Other things he said, that you agreed to were insults about the mans positions: "Who are the communists? someones imagination? fearfuls, haters, blah blah blah,,,"
Your progressive argument, doesn't address issues, it insults and denigrates someone who ACTUALLY fought communists,,, you ridicule and abuse him because you hold a democrat political stance... so yeah, I think you are snarky, disrespectful to others, and downright wrong, in that you think YOUR opinion, which isn't as experienced as his, is better. You don't have the practical experience he has, to negate him, and certainly not to be derisive of him.
As far as I am concerned, my practical experience, on the ground in the last three wars, confirms his opinions and stances, and debunks yours. It is also apparent that the progressive in you doesn't allow you to show respect for other fighters experience, as you appear to think that whatever you have learned in the past actions is equivalent to what others learned under fire.

The fact that you were in Nam is sad,and if you got hurt is also sad. I am a Democrat, and proud to be one. I don't lap up vomit from anyone,I was also in the United States Navy,that job was for the deck apes. I was called a greasy foot snipe. I worked below deck in the Engine Room.I was in charge of both engine rooms. long before your tour of duty.And I still remember how some of you were treated when it was over. And believe me I straightened out a lot of stupid people at that time.It was bad. War is hell.
