		<description>I know, I know. I badly need to install a comment preview here. For now, assume that the following tags are valid, at a minimum:

* blockquote
* em
* strong
* a

If anything breaks when you post it, email me, and I will fix it ASAP.</description>

		<description>What the hell is that in the light gray block? Are you utilizing blockquote in the standard way or is that some other markup? 

You&#039;ve got no preview button or examples of allowable inline tags.</description>

		<description>bq. The American people and congress don’t bestow or taketh away honor. If you serve with honor, it’s _your_ service.

My point exactly. Anyone who believes that honor can be removed by an outside agency does not understand what honor is, nor from whence it derives.</description>

		<description>Ok, maybe you&#039;re right on that. Went over and checked it out:

&lt;i&gt;After all, this is a “war” in which only 1% of the population has been asked to make any kind of sacrifice. The only “sacrifice” that the 99% of the American Population has to make is having to watch the media coverage of it on television.&lt;/i&gt;

But it&#039;s painfully bad TV. We&#039;re all sacrificing by watching it. Of course, we could turn the channel, but it&#039;s on all the channels except the history channel.

Maybe we&#039;ve finally found something to displace Hitler on the History channel but we&#039;ll need a respectable pause before the news clips can be compiled.

&lt;i&gt;Every soldier that I have spoken to today is in a state of disbelief.&lt;/i&gt;

I believe he may have a captive audience there. I asked a few and they were doing the jig today. Gleeful jigs.

&lt;i&gt;It took 30 years for the uniformed military to “shake” away the ghost of SE Asia. It will now take another 30 years for the uniformed military to “shake” away the ghost of SW Asia.&lt;/i&gt;

Talk about stupidity. How about stay out of Asia? They keep on kicking your ass. Maybe you should stick with attacking small countries like Panama, El Salvador, Kosovo, Grenada. That kind of stuff. And stay out of Africa too. That Mogadishu stuff wasn&#039;t too pretty either.

&lt;i&gt;When the American People, through the Congress, pulled out of Vietnam, my brothers of that past generation lost their honor.&lt;/i&gt;

Oh, I doubt that. The American people and congress don&#039;t bestow or taketh away honor. If you serve with honor, it&#039;s &lt;i&gt;your&lt;/i&gt; service. Get a clue dumbass.</description>

		<description>No. I am certain &quot;Oak Leaf&quot; means the term as in the phrase &quot;comrades in arms&quot;. He&#039;s simply confused about what honor is, and where it comes from.</description>
