John, I already apologized once:
I'm sorry if I offended you with my "play on words". I was deliberately ambiguous: "serial killer" has one meaning as a single phrase, and a different meaning if you consider them as two separate words. Soldiers are killers, and they do kill serially, but they aren't "serial killers", in the sense of, say, McVeigh. Message 19310704
I'll say it again: I apologize. I'm sorry. Yes, it was Clintonesque. Bad, bad, bad. OK?
My brother, father, step-father, and 3 in-laws, are or were in the military, including 2 in the National Guard currently in the ME (nurse and pilot).
I happen to think that most military people have about the same sense of duty and honor as the general population they come from. Another deliberately ambiguous statement. |
