Reply #61: Think again, I was one of the first women officers integrated into the regular army [View All]

[ShortnFiery]

during the late 1970s and early 1980s. I'm also the mother of a beautiful and independent daughter.

Nobody is more pro-women's rights than I. I've paid the price and cherish my USA citizenship as well as being honored to have served my Country in the AD Army.

However, I don't falsely wrap myself in the USA Flag and PONTIFICATE that our Country is superior. Why? I know in my heart that it IS. However, you tarnish our image by all the bragging. It's in ACTION that we show compassion, not through pompous sentiments that do nothing to ease the tensions. I've already served and proved my love of my Country. Therefore, I don't feel a need to figuratively beat my chest and BRAG about the USA.

Simply put, I don't have to call peoples of other religions *pigs* and *dogs* to pump up my self-esteem and/or prove my loyalty to the USA.

Cali, you and I have mixed it up enough that your very predictable degradation to PERSONAL ATTACK would be upsetting ... well, if it were a surprise.

Please, take your ire and unfounded accusations elsewhere. :(
