I respect your point of view, and understand your desire to be your own man. I too have a deep commitment to my independence. However you continually use the quote "I am not number, "I am a free man" D oh. I know you realize that being a free man isn't something that's come to you of an accidental nature but because those so called immoral servitudes recognized that freedom requires cost and sacrifice.
So it logically follows that those who have abided by their military obligation would not exactly be enamored with those who push such views. Paul like Jefferson are known to have recalcitrant natures
I think about what you have said and then think back to my cousin Tom who served 4 years in the Air Force and then volunteered two tours of duty in Nam
all because he loved his country....God rest his moral and free soul.
Once again I sincerely respect your point of view and would defend your right to express it.
