Look, no one has denied your service to our nation, in fact, every one of the posters in this thread are EXTREMELY proud of that... Regardless of political opinions...I wouldn't have used the word 'upset' to describe my disagreement, but on reading your post I do think it's accurate. Your Mighty Mouth Almighty friend has gone back to calling 'the other side' communist and did call me one specifically, and you added a like to the comment. We've had the conversation about vets before and I know I'm one of very few in this thread and pretty sure I'm the ONLY one with a purple heart from Vietnam-fighting communism literally. I think that qualifies me to tell anyone who calls me one to FOAD and if that's who you want to ride with....
However, folks like me have a hard time with the opinion of a controlling federal government, who only imposes their dictates upon us because they think that people are "too stupid" to live their own lives... I'm capable of making my own decisions, and I can and will survive without the feds meddling in my life.
