From a Chaplain who had served in Iraq

[Cicero]

Oh now I just saw how I've dishonored all the dead and living soldiers that someone knows because I called that a conditioned response.

Another conditioned response is to say that you have shat all over someone's valued memory when someone says something you don't agree with. That's low.

How does that grab you? Be pissed all you want. I haven't done a damb thing to dishonor you or the people you have known in the military.

Oh that's another thing:

In fact, I have actually helped, personally, one of the fellow soldiers you served with, in a variety of ways throughout the years. As he has helped me on several occasions as well. So. Stick it. The proof is in the pudding here.

Well, I have to admit, I did go a little far with his nick name a couple of times... I have always respected him and his military action. Despite the illness that it caused. You are talking to the wrong person about the "dishonor" of your fellow soldiers, and yourself. If I hadn't had personal interactions with one of them for several years it might be a little different. Wrong girl.

And another thing: I didn't honor him just because of his service in the military, he was good friend because he was honorable outside of the military. He was a good guy.

Hmmm...maybe I won't call him flatfoot anymore.
