When was the last time you wore a uniform, earned your position, and got into combat? How brave you are to insult a man because he didn't tell you what you wanted to hear. Your standard for "hero" is martyrdom ... that would put you in the same camp as?

However, I fail to understand how or why my reputation would be diminished if I engage responsibly with political opponents. Am I now associated with MoveOn.org because I commented on their disgusting attack on General Petreus? I believe good and active citizens need to challenge irresponsible debaters and hatemongers rather than try to ignore them. They are too loud and influential to ignore even if we wanted to.Denis Navratilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05973310336665077770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26434163.post-39828100449286822312007-09-11T20:16:00.000-07:002007-09-11T20:16:00.000-07:00That's one reason I don't understand why you post ...That's one reason I don't understand why you post on blogs belonging to people who consistently smear other people.
