What kind of nonsense is that? Do you actually gain particular satisfaction from priding yourself with somebody else's laurel?

Well obviously, the facts are not in dispute otherwise you would have challenged them with some opposing fact set and you can not!

My particular satisfaction is derived not from any laurels but the ideals of freedom and liberty from which enduring laurels grow forth!

American servicemen positioned to invade the Japanese home islands earned their degree's island hopping the way there, and most would concur that it was less horrific for them and hopefully more horrific for their adversaries! Where have you earned a degree to dispute that assessment?

... "and most would concure" ...?

I would concure that you just rephrased my post and threw it back at me. How chill!

Btw, are you a WWII veteran or a direct offspring thereof?

I don't see how it's apologetic in any way. But what do I know, I dug my degree out of the same Cracker Jack box you got yours from.
If anyone is being apologetic here, it's you. Go jet around with BO and kiss asses and bow to foreign leaders-

It's mostly induced by people who can't seem to grasp past events in their context.
Please don't question my education, you are only showing your own ignorance. You see that I have removed myself to a rural, secluded area and assume that I am some inbred hick, yet you yourself dare not give any of your own background. How about your degree? How about you tell us all what qualifies you to make such sweeping statements about military policy?
