My name is Colin, I am a Mil veteran...spent 33 years serving my country and supporting its values. Started as a Private and retired as a Major. Lost my parents young, lost a lot of good soldiers under my command...and a lot of friends...when they were even younger. Been married 32 years...2 kids that I missed growing up because of deployments, and 2 grand-kids who I will miss growing up because they live far away...I try to treat people with respect and expect the same in return...really my only motto. If attacked, I will defend. The government spent a lot of money over the years to train me to do just that. I vote conservative, have empathy for the under-privileged, and give to worthwhile charities....I love dogs. Gave up a heavy drinking issue about a month ago...so far, so good. Even lost 5 pounds...:) I'm loyal to my friends and truthful to everyone.

PS: .... along with some others, I have also been accused of hi-jacking this thread, although that certainly was not my intent...but, apparently intent has nothing to do with it....according to the pious and self righteous, if something is not said in the way they deem it should be said , it's hi-jacking. The alleged hi-jacker then gets verbally abused, lectured, disrespected and minimized. Boy, that sure sucks.....Wish I was that pure..!
