Attorney Action Figure, Jlallen, I wasn't referring to lawyer John J. Coughlin. I was referring to you. In your case you have mentioned that you have been an attorney for 18 years and that you were medically discharged from the army years ago. Now why doesn't that add up to a likely role as a combat veteran? Can you guess?

It's no big deal unless some Attorney Action Figure intimates that he has special insight gained from combat experience, which he just happens to never mention-because "those that have that experience never talk about it, of course." It is evidently ok, however, to let others talk about Attorney Action Figure's purported "shrapnel wounds" from the Gulf War.

The point is that it's not a big deal whether most of us did or didn't serve in combat. It is a big deal, however, to those that did see combat when some chickenhawk, lilly livered, big talking, wannabe, hints around that he's seen combat, suffered wounds and knows what it's like to have been in front of bullets.

Stop trying to be something you're not. If, by some fluke, you really happen to have seen combat as an attorney, then stop hinting about it and at least give a rational scenario of how that DID happen.

I've never heard anyone who has really seen combat say such empty headed shit as you do about war. The best thing for you to do would be to tell what is almost surely the truth; as much as you've envied the battle experience of others, the closest you've gotten to the front was to talk to someone who'd been there.

The men and women who have seen war understand far more about what it is and what it does than you will ever learn watching John Wayne movies and buying "Presidential Flight Suit Action Figures."

STOP POSING. PRETENDERS DO A GRAVE DISSERVICE TO THE SMALL NUMBER OF MEN WHO DID SERVE UNDER FIRE.

I hope that's simple enough for even a bad attorney to comprehend.
