I don't see that that is being said. Bruce made it pretty clear when he said that there is a time when thinking is an option, and a time when thinking isn't.

I served my country and am very proud of having done so. I'm just wondering how many of you served and if not, where do you get off making negative comments about those of us that have?
I also don't see where there have been any negative comments about the members of the military. The military leadership? Yeah. The politicians? Yeah. Sailors, pilots, soldiers and marines? Not that I've seen.

I did my turn and haven't seen anything to shoot Bruce over yet. I haven't ruled out nailing his foot to the floor yet, but I'll give him some more time to be sure.

Edit: put an "a" where it belongs.
