GF, I thank you and all who serve with every ounce of my soul. But you are doing the military a huge disservice with the way you denigrate people volunteering for the Peace Corp by using your military service. To minimize the efforts of PC volunteers by stating it has no effect on the U.S. is extemely simple-minded and embarrasingly short-sighted. War can be won in two ways: with military might (a necessity for which I am extremely grateful) or with diplomacy and education and passion before disagreements begin. You handle one of those, the Peace Corp handles another. They both deserve our utmost thanks and respect.

As the guy who originally started the banter about Peace Corps pukes and as one who spent 31 years defending your right to spout jibberish, I take great umbrage at your assertion. You damn right my achievements and those of my brothers and sisters are superior. We've been there, taken the bullets, and helped folks in need, especially ones like you buddy. I am Griz and I am Bobcat. But mostly, we helped the good folks of the USA, to whom my loyalty and compassionate outreach go FIRST.
