Trying to make TV residents seem "unpatriotic" because kids can't live here is a cheap shot. There's a lot of us here with extensive service time and the scars that go with it, and we don't have to prove our patriotism by agreeing to watch our retirement community turn into just another town.

Steve...in no way did I make the residents of TV's seem unpatriotic. This was something I heard someone else ask and I too thought an interesting question. This question came from a resident and I know for sure that it was just a simple question. Not leaning one way or the other. Just wanted to know what folks on TOTV thought.
You have your opinion...and that is great that you are so loyal to TV's and the covenants that you would move out if you had to. This is your answer to the question. Bless your family for having you.
However...PLEASE do not make it sound as if I am exploiting a situation and making it seem unpatriotic. This was not a slam on anyone...it is a possible scenario that could happen to MANY residents and I was interested in thoughts...not making "cheap shots".
There were many other ways to have answered this question....perhaps saying something like "it is unfortunate situation and while we respect the work they are doing...rules are rules...." instead of
insinuating that I was trying to make the residents look unpatriotic....not needed and nice try at spinning my SIMPLE question....but that is NOT in anyway the intent.
