I forgot to mention this. In one little paragraph you manage to
criticize my a) lack of shame, b) arrogance, c) pompousness and d) the
embarrassment I would experience if you turned out to be a decorated
Vet.

It's difficult to carry on a conversation with someone who finds me so
offensive. I don't, for one minute, believe myself to be the most
honored, respected and idolized person on Earth. However, I have many
friends that think I'm a pretty nice person. That is probably very hard
for you to comprehend. If so, I understand. There is a generation gap
and I may not be so acceptable to yours.
