To put it in a lighter context, I can get very defensive if people diss a show I have invested in emotionally:P Magnify that by a huge factor for people who've experienced the incredible unity and emotional connection that comes from serving in the forces.

Dana, I accept that and agree completely, particularly regarding other Cellar folks and their personal connection to the military, of which I know very little. Just as they know very little about my support for our men and women in uniform.

But there are many out there for whom it is an ideological war and to question their agenda or the actions of the government somehow makes one unpatriotic.
