"But I, many of you too have had family die to keep this country free"
Dr Bob that's true. That's from Phil's post and I think for you to PBC him for a possible insult to the derrieres of France is unconscionable. I have an uncle that I never knew. He went to France in World War II and he never came home. He knew why he was going and he went willingly. I thought about the liberation of France today when I was watching the liberation of Baghdad and I thought how very lucky those people were that the Coalition was liberating them. Look at Europe after the war. It isn't the European territories of the USA is it?
I think you issuing a PBC for this post is an insult to all the people who have sacrificed for this country. And to all of us who have people we love fighting for their country right now. What about us? Phils post brought me and probably others some comfort at a difficult time. What about us? There is just no comparison (or Parallel) with a mild vulgarity.
And if you want to be technical Phil never SAID anyone said anything. He said just don't tell me................. His post was not addressed to a particular individual.
And by the way Bob DON'T TELL ME EITHER that our troops are evil or mindless! (If you want to PBC me for that I'd be proud to accept.)
Dr Bob you have caused a great deal of upset and pain to people that just don't deserve it.
