I I did not intend a "cheap shot" to the forum but was offended at how you where beating the geek up on the playground. I did intend for some to get a "cold shower" and get off their high horse.

I consider you all more mentors than peers. Thank you for the coaching and patience.

I have learned alot today. And it was all free. Heck is anyone shooting at us?

Sincerely,
In need of tact and persuasion, I am

Iron sharpens iron--Look at the quality of the posts now!
Again, thank you for your mentoring, coaching and teaching.
Interesting apology. How topic was brought up did not reflect well on:

A) Status as Military Officer
B) PhD Canidacy
C) General Discourse.

For not intending to be a "cheap shot", I would avoid pejorative words in the future (especially in a first post) such as:

Small Minds
pitiful dinosaurs
You PAWNS
Military-Industrial-ACADEMIC complex
You are the very FUNDAMENTALIST
COLD WAR, McCain Republican
pitiful Dinosaurs of Professional Military Education
participants are the very small minds
I can also call on our esteemed LTC (Dr.) Nagl here, if you need me to, I doubt he would approve of your approach.

You're welcome here in the battle of ideas. Not to insult the council members. Attack the idea, not the messenger. We do have pretty divergent viewpoints here, as evidenced in many threads. I had not commented on this one simply because Dr. McKenna wasn't worth the energy.
