isn't it a disgrace how much bush dishonored veterans, particularly on the 
say set aside to honor veterans?

did you mix up who you were responding to? walker did not do that, nor did 
i. i have seen a number of readers call you a liar but i'll conclude this 
was an honest mistake on your part and await your apology.

> Soldiers go where they are sent; they do not set policy.

did anyone suggest that soldiers set policy? is your news reader working 
properly? i appears that you are confusing a lot of things.

this remark is even more confusing. walker is a veteran, as am i. are you?

i'm surprised you'd want silence over the unnecessary killing of american 
soldiers. do you hate american soldiers?
