I don't agree with him all the time either, but the man deserves your respect for his service to his country.
Some of you seem to have forgotten that.

He does not deserve, nor does he have, my respect.

Criminals "served" their country, too, as soldiers. Generalizations don't work. Just because you signed up and wore a uni doesn't automatically grant you status in my eyes. Even Napoleon 'served' his country.
