Your comment are spot on, obviously Mr. Boyn has an issue with the military which won't be addressed by facts.

"My neighborhood has been progressively shifting from local families to military ones (both active duty and retired). I'm surrounded by active duty military officer's and their families on 3 sides."

The horror...surrounded by military families on three side...I feel a great deal of sympathy for Mr. Boyn's neighbors, I can visualize him screaming:

HEY YOU KIDS GET OFF MY GRASS !!!!!!!
