 Uh... Ross... I never slighted anyone over fulfilling any
 commitment.

 And 65 days is far more than zero.

 As John Wilson said, he knew someone who served about 30 seconds
 in combat.

 I knew a fellow who lost a leg before his first mission on a
 river boat in Vietnam.

 I remember that fellow I served with who I last saw in a
 hospital with extensive burns. And the fellow I went to high
 school with I ran into in the waiting room of that hospital,
 after he returned from Vietnam wounded.

 How does someone who never served get off slighting them?
