Noticed below where you were denigrating the "patriotism" of others not of your particular political persuasion.
What branch of the service did you serve in and when?
I served in the USAF from 1967 to 1971 and have my honorable discharge framed and displayed in my office. I served in Texas, Mississippi, Colorado, Alaska, and Louisiana; so I am not a veteran of foreign wars.
Are you?
OR, is your definition of "patriot" reserved for those who agree with you?
