And, just so we're clear, I was IN the military, so even if your argument were valid, if we're going on numbers, I know hundreds of present and former military members.
But again, numbers weren't the point. The POINT was that SOME families of deceased servicemen don't appreciate photos of their loved one posted on Michael Moore's website to promote his warped opinions.

actually, the only point you made that I was responding to with my credentials was this:

Three well-informed people in a position to know, since the last one in particular works WITH the subject group. If you question the validity of his opinion, I'd be very interested to know your basis for doing so.

Well, how about that! We're neighbors!
I live in Coronado, California. Say the word, and I'll set up a meeting with the Rear Admiral in charge of the Naval Special Warfare School. He's the one I mentioned earlier.
I'll let you explain to him your opinion that it's not improper for Michael Moore to misuse their loved ones' photos. Don't forget--he travels to the family members to give them the bad news. He also takes it very personally when one of his teammates dies.
Better yet, let's have dinner at McP's, the local SEAL bar. I'll make sure your opinions are distributed widely throughout the establishment.
Yeah, I'd heard Wal-Mart's receipts are up.

Yeah, let's set up a meeting and I'll repeat the only opinion I offered in this thread:

you based all that assumption on what you gathered from 3 people?!
not to mention your acquantances most likely share similar ideas as you. yet, it doesn't seem odd to you in the least that they would reinforce something you believed a priori.

If he has a problem with me questioning whether you can speak in this forum for all members in Iraq or their family members based on just speaking to a few people, I'd be shocked.
I don't know anything about Wal-Mart, but you sure like to spout off some stupid shit and call people on logical errors.
Thinking about it, maybe we need to meet up if not for the fact that I can help fix your problem for you. PM me your contact info.
as for not repyling, why wait? I'm tired of your thread sniping anyway.
EDIT: when did I say this you fucking tool:
"I'll let you explain to him your opinion that it's not improper for Michael Moore to misuse their loved ones' photos."
...talk about logical fallacies, how about trying to read first!
Second edit:
if a mod or member takes exception at my last comment, before you temp ban me or anything consider how inflammatory it is to have some dude spouting off on an anonymous forum that he, and he alone, has ownership of how families of service people in Iraq or the people themselves feel or should feel based on his lunches with an Admiral in one of the cushiest places in San Diego. Fuck that and fuck anyone who wants to tell me how I should feel about my family members who have laid their lives on the line, who have given their lives for this country, and are currently risking their lives for this country.
