For the simple reason we all apologize to you. We respect your service, which you always remind us of. At heart you seem to be a good guy and every once in awhile you post something serious and wow.
However, you call people names for expressing themselves. If you don't like it, you call them libtards and anything else you feel like.
Yet you always whine and feel disrespected if someone stands up to you. Yet you talk about snowflakes?
I apologized because I felt bad if I hurt your feelings. My response though was spot on, you often want to blow away those that disagree with your world view.
