Joe: The issue isn't you its Scott, Its the military-at-all-costs-can never do wrong fanatics. Its the Navy guy who threatened an elderly lady because she wrote a letter to the editor.

See how easy it is? read through almost any of the comment sections for almost any article on the Navy. Time after time it's dismissing opinions and facts with personal attacks, guilt by association, and the ever popular name calling.
