Petey,
You may, or may not, be a Veteran of the US Military. Regardless, please do
not presume to speak for me. I AM a Veteran (Vietnam), a retired First
Sergeant, and I spent over 26 years in the US Army. Please DO NOT EVER
presume to speak for "the Veterans of the US Armed Forces". You do not have
the right. You may speak for yourself, only.
John
