    It's all relative. He brags about 30 extra kills, you brag about 30 extra minutes on the treadmill.

    For some reason, John Kerry didn't get this benefit of the doubt from the right on his war record. Funny thing.

    One's dead; that's the difference. Well, that and the fact that the live one was running for president. Apples and chads, really. But at least there are heroes like Michael Moore who don't let such silly distinctions get in the way of speaking their minds.

    One wrote a book and voted Republican.

    I do find him fascinating and can't wait to see it. My cousin who is a huge movie buff was over this weekend raving about it. Supposedly he's sending over a bootleg copy for me, hopefully tomorrow.

    Do you really not understand how some people might be willing to let certain things slide when a person is not around to answer criticisms? Haha, what am I saying? If anyone doesn't understand such obvious differences, it would be you.

    So you don't think Kyle deserves to be called a hero, Dick? Seriously?

    I think that it's fair to discuss the entirety of the man. I don't care about labels like "hero." That's just a #hot take.

    No problem whatsoever discussing "the entirety of the man." I just choose to focus more on his sacrifice and service to our country than some shit he lied about after he came home from hell.

    No problem discussing the entirety of these, except, of course, that you say one sentence later that we shouldn't be discussing the entirety of the man.
