Again, BR you have posted a disjointed, silly comment. You say, quote, "you would like all members of your organization to be considered heroes" And, why not. There are, as Gerry said, the 11,000 plus that stood up and said, "Some day, BR will want to make some disparaging remarks about us and we need to defend his right to do so." So you may want to thank them. Quote, " while spurning the veterans who are not members and know full well they are not." BR, that's what make them Heroes, they made sure, that veterans not wishing to be part of any group, has the right not to be. It also give you the right, to join any kind of group you like, and make comment as above. Quote,"Enlisting and serving makes nobody a hero;" Who then, are the heroes?
