Does this have anything to do with WMDs or are you trying to avoid the fact your OP has gone down in flames?...

Dead aquines, man, dead equines...

The tests run on me pointed to a viral infection; they also pointed out a couple of potentially serious conditions I wasn't aware of even being suffering. All in all not a great day...

No, no clips. We have a bunch of pictures on FaceBook, but nothing else that I know of. Sorry to hear about your infection. I hope it's getting better.

Oh, well, maybe next gig...

The infection really isn't the problem; that will go away, but, the tests pointed out some possible organ failure...

But I,m not going anywhere soon...I've still got a whole bunch of people to tick off...

One of the few privileges of getting old.

Just for the record, if the answer is negative, the one who will look worse is you for jumping on it (or "resting your case"). Because the question is irrelevant and is an unwarranted attack on his ethos. Contrary to the belief of some, serving does not give you an ethical bonus.

No one said it does. However - it does provide a unique perspective that those who have NOT served cannot have. Knowing you can get a call at any time to go get shot at is a sobering thing. To be in combat situations also can alter your view - on a LOT of topics.

To infer cowardice because a servicemember never got the phone call while refusing to even address whether the accuser ever served is the bottom of the barrel.

On the subject of Sean Penn. I do believe he is just a narrator in the documentary,
as the whole thing is based on Norman Solomon's book of the same title.

I don't really care what his answer is. I just want him to man up and answer it. He directly accused me of both personal cowardice and worse indifference towards my own kind. I think I deserve to know whether he comes from my world or not.

As far as ethical bonus' goes you have your opinion and I have mine. In my opinion you're not being very ethical by calling my response to him an unwarranted attack yet have nothing to say about his original attack upon me.

But since we're on the subject. Have you ever served your country?

They lied about WMD and they should feel bad.
