Why denigrate a member as a third party ?? I know exactly how he would feel if you doubted his service.
YOU, on the other hand have most probably (IMO) done NOTHING for the Country, and before you start the retaliation, YES, I am a returned Serviceman (Vietnam), and I quite well know what you shiny arses thought of us back in the 70's.
IF, you have a problem with @pintohoo, post to him direct, instead of behind his back.
