Jay-sus, looks like you got the next most annoying thing to a bot on your line. A troll off his meds.

I served for six years and benefitted from it for the rest of my life, but I reserve my use of the term 'veteran' for the retired and those who served in actual conflicts.

I don't like bullies either, with cyberbullies ranked below most others in that noxious genre.

IMHO you've acquitted yourself well in the exchange but that guy belongs firmly in the life's too short bucket, with the lid snapped firmly in place.

Regards,
Rick
