JS I didn't insist on knowing your military background and didn't challenge the truthfullness of it but revealing it shows you are not ashamed of it which implies you are proud of it plus inviting me to look up your Honorable Discharge from the United States Marine Corps proves it in my book, called false modesty. Same with me revealing my involvement with WWII and the 2nd WMD Iraqi war. None of my bars and medals was due to individual actions, everyone on my ships got the same awards but I am proud of them, shown and mentioned it several times. Incidentally a correction, The Combat Bar came without a medal because no medal was made for it. Comrade Blumenthal In a message dated 2/12/2013 8:53:36 A.M.

And I never implied I was any kind of "hero." I only related that experience because you insisted on knowing my military background. If you still doubt it, military service is public record. You can look up my Honorable Discharge from the United States Marine Corps. JS ____________________________________________________________ Woman is 55, But Looks 27 2013's No. 1 Cream.
