94Deac: I accept your explanation, but I respectfully disagree that the meaning and intent of your post was "pretty obvious."
Forgive me for taking exception whenever I believe (reasonably, in my own mind) that I am being painted as a mass murderer. I'll try to be more laid back next time.
Cheers and have a good one.
Jesus. What BKF said was not akin to "mass murder." What he said was that people who vote for Romney should be taken out and shot. Stupid? Yup. Hyperbole? Obviously. Actually espousing the act itself? Only in the world of knee-jerk politics. So let's just avoid the "you called me a mass murderer" schtick. I did not- and you goddamned well know it. I've been a very vocal supporter of the military on this board- mainly because I'm about the only one in my family who didn't attend USNA or enlist in either Navy or Army. So with all due deference, my inclination to not insult the military doesn't come from wanting to avoid upsetting anyone on this board. It comes from the awareness of family members' sacrifice and dedication. However, the point remains that we have a military to carry out wars and exact a death toll from our enemies largely because of political conflicts. "We" means Americans and any other nation on earth with armed forces.
