That's right! It is a discussion forum for anyone and everyone to discourse and opine upon any and all topics. What was your point there?
But, I'm a little confused here... what has this discussion got to do with active duty? The way I see it is that the Jeep displayed a message that was truthful, whether one agrees with that message or not. The fact of the matter is that any official, no matter how high, is first and formost a Public Servant. Generally indecently overpaid, at the publics expense.
It wasn't an 'opinion' as such, the message, it was a statement of fact! One cannot get away from the truth of the message posted on the back of the Jeep.
Are you not implying that Cowboy has a character flaw also, because he, and others I might add, disagree with you?
Ahh, I see, a thinly disguised assault on someone for not having military experience! You know, there are many reasons for why one might not have such experience, or have joined any military establishment; very few of which are not for genuine reasons.
Our troops, wherever they are, should be respected and admired for what they do for us and their country, but we should not tolerate or accept anyone's distain for others opinions, nor their disregard for the truth, whether he/she is a Marine, or President of this country!.
I'm sorry but once again I believe you are wrong, and offensive in your contempt for those who do not share your vocation. I've personally never been a member of the armed forces, but I would take deep offence at you telling me that because of my lack of experience or knowledge of military proceedures, I cannot differentiate between a truthful statement of fact, and a derogatory comment, supposedly displayed on a poster.
Whether one supports Obama or not, he is a Public Servant! Get over it!
Peace!
