Simply put, I meant you attacked the person rather than the argument.
Your criticism goes like this:
Hewitt did not serve
Hewitt wants others to serve
Hewitt is a hypocrite for not serving but wanting others to
This is along the same lines that the pro-abortion crowd uses when
saying that if you oppose abortion don't have one and also the
position that if you are a man you have no right to speak about
abortion. It is not a refutation of an argument but a personal attack.
Of course your whole post wasn't made up of this but I'm tired of the
subject already.

So, pray tell, what did you mean when you wrote: "Hewitt's position
is no more negated by his lack of service than those that said to
abolitionists 'don't like slavery? Don't own one.'" ?
