Here's the deal. You never served your country. IMO you are the last person who has a say on what what those that did, do. Get it? Good.
Long story short I'd be happy...no, proud to sit at a bar drinking some beers with a couple of 17 year old kids willing to risk their lives so you can smugly sit here and try to dictate what they can and cannot do.
It's not about age, it's about actions. These people in the military have demonstrated great courage. What's your claim to fame?
Moderating here? Being a Dale Junior fan? There's something to hang your hat on there.
