I'm just an Army vet who was born in the wrong decade.

Just realized I forgot to add the Army logo next to your avatar. All set now.

Same, but on time.

Well thank you sir, I wondered if that was something one had to request or pay for. I"m too cheap to pay for it.

Nah, just recognition to those who have served our great country.

Welcome, Long Term!

Funny stuff on your location... works with my avatar comment nicely.

I don't want to chime in too much, and I'll be cleaning this thread up a bit and moving the "non introductions" crap to the steel cage forum. I also don't want it to seem as if I am taking sides in a fight/debate or anything like that. This is a stance I will take for ALL of you.

I don't want to ever see someones military service questioned, at least not without some sort of proof. I like to acknowledge our military and respect them for their service. This doesn't mean I have to like them, or share their opinions, but I can still respect their service. Questioning or accusing their service, IMO, is a way of diminishing their service. I don't care if you were Navy, Marines, Army, Air Force, USCG.... ALL have given time to serve and defend our country.

Very rarely do I speak for the board as a whole. I generally state the community polices itself, and that each person speaks individually. But "the board" - the ownership aka me - and what I would ask of our staff members - and something I will speak up and stand for EVERY single time for EVERY service member - we HONOR and RESPECT military service here. No, they don't get special treatment - but they WILL be protected from having their service called into question.
