Actually I was referring to Phil Berman's previous posts, calling the 
President a "Nazi" and the U.S. Forces sent to Bosnia "Storm Troopers". I 
don't doubt your veracity Major Smith, but my initial comments were in 
fact directed at Berman, and not yourself. Phil Berman's post's are only 
designed, in my opinion, and meant to stir up feelings of hatred toward 
our government. I am an ex-military person as well, and expressed my 
opinion in a plural sense, which is misleading. I am outraged by some of 
his comments, but this being Usenet, even assholes are allowed to express 
their opinions. whether I agree with them or not. Phil's posts suggesting 
secession of any state is ludicrous, of course, but these remarks are 
suggesting treason, which is not something I can not rebutt on. Our 
political process is not perfect, but we really don't need fringe groups 
dictating government policy either. The world is dangerous enough without 
kooks trying to divide our nation from within.
