Posting PM's is in poor taste. Originally Posted by OldLRRPit maybe poor taste and i would bring it down if i could. I just simply responded this way cause i saw no reason for this person to send what they did send to me. i never wished to contact them in the first place.
Duthgar, disclosing information from a PM is in violation of Eccie guidlines as it is intended to remain private. While I agree that it would appear to be an unprovoked response, we are not privy to both sides of the conversation. Best to handle any issues you have directly with her.

There's no good way to say it; do I not appreciate those who made the world of today possible? No, I do, but the service is worth less when it was done for financial gain, and that isn't just the perspective of a few. Drafted, died, fought, god bless you. Went to school, worked for the military in an office, asking for discounts, get in line with the rest of us.
Amen. I was drafted. One thing that is common among combat veterans is the feeling of guilt from surviving while your buddies didn't. It is the very reason why I don't put the (free) purple heart tags on my vehicles. Originally Posted by OldLRRP^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
