Yes, I do read your posts.  And yes you have said that there are some committed civilians, but it seems to me that you tend to conform to this anti-government sentiment.  I suspect over a long period of time, we both have seen the good, the bad and the ugly.  I will never deny that there are bad judgements, mistakes, hard-headedness, waste, knee jerk reactions.  And I don't believe the government, in general, is always the best stewards of the taxpayers money.  But for the most part, I don't believe that people go into it intending for these things (with maybe the exception of that GSA manager who spent all that money on conferences)to happen.  I would like for people to understand that there are other factors that they may not know about - like that supposedly $600 toilet seat. 

  I just can't imagine where you got the idea that I don't respect our military or the sacrifices that they make every day.   

And my remark about the pantyhose was supposed to be tongue in cheek.  Although I can't imagine having to wear pantyhose every day in these hot, humid summers.
