EDIT: And again, I must add that this is nothing personal, RO.
I like you too Dowly... Even when you're too drunk to read links that I send you.

Simo Hayha is a great hero to Finland I'm sure. I don't mean to disrespect him, you, Hunter or Kyle.

I admire people who have the guts to serve their country. You have to understand this, I'm an American. My opinions are sometimes very American. (As you might have found earlier with Baseball. ) Chris Kyle is a hero to me. I just don't know a whole lot about Simo Hayha yet since I just found out about the guy last week. I admire Simo Hayha...I admire Chris Kyle... They are all heroes to people in their country.

I don't take this personal. I'm just trying to explain my side of this.

I don't mean any disrespect, insults, etc that this may have caused. I did not mean to compare. I was simply pointing out another great warrior. I appreciate that this man served to protect people like me and our rights. I'm sure that there are Finns who feel the same way about Hayha.

I won't compare the two ever again.

EDIT: I thought you were going to bed
