I didn't call her a "warmongering xenophobe," and your false representation of what I said indicates you're not interested in an argument on facts. How dare you? These are dirty rhetorical tactics.

I did say she was a tool of military recruitment, which is what the piece indisputably was.

I didn't speculate about whether you were drafted or what your experience was like. I said there should have been another way for you to have your college paid, and I'll happily stand by that. I'll add there should have been a different form of service available for all of us than one where at any time we may be ordered to go to countries that pose no threat to us and possibly forced to kill or be killed.

About all you are illustrating is how sensitive you are to critiques of the military, and how you immediately think they're being applied to you and you're being made into a bad guy. Well, you're not a militarist. More a patsy for the rhetoric.
