Funny thing is though, BDN, you're not even the person who I was directing my comments at, although I guess my strawman could be pointed your way as well. CR was actually the one who said "Remember most of the candidates weren't willing to take that risk" in his/her original post.
So back off man. Not everything is about you.
EDIT: The more I read my post and the definition of strawman, the less I am convinced that what I said was creating a strawman arguement. All I said was my honest opinion of what a soldier is and that I don't hold them in higher esteem than a civilian. I may have added a bit more drama to it than that, but I fail to see how this is a strawman.

Jack,
I went back and read your posts. I give you border-line Straw-man. Don't think it was intentional. I just think you are reading to deep into peoples posts and trying to get into their true meanings and mistranslating...not really seeing their point....Well, we all do it.....

thanks for this list
Does the little shurb still claim he was in Nam instead of getting drunk on his daddy's credit card (Bush Snr)
At least Bush snr was a respectable leader who done good things for America, unlike the little monkey in the whitehouse today
