I'm fairly sure those who are dead or at least the vast majority would rather the President keep the money at home as well.

BTW great article on Jimmy Zwit front cover of the trib today. Going to make it down today or tomorrow prob tomorrow.

You don't speak for my relatives who have fought for this country. Thank God. This weekend is about them.

I suspected 'your' relatives would be in the minority that would want money sent to Egypt rather than Missouri. That's why I didn't say 'all deceased troops'. I was looking out for 'your' relatives.

BTW Didn't know you had relatives that died in service. God Bless and I thank them! Even if they would want our money sent to Egypt.

My relatives always cared about their fellow Americans. How dare you say otherwise.

When I said the majority of deceased troops would have wanted money kept at home rather then sent to Egypt why did you object as though your relatives would have thought otherwise?

I have a feeling you are in the minority of your own family especially among anyone who died for his/her country.

I love my country. I am proud of my country. My patriotism is exceeded by none. My family, over generations, have given to this country serving the military. The only thing you are allowed to say about them is "thank you". And don't you ever, ever question my love of my country.

Then where is the objection? Now you too agree we should keep the money in pocket rather then send it to Egypt? Good for you, quite the flip flop, hope you didn't pull anything.

BTW glad the current First Lady finally came around to feeling the same. Would have been nice if it didn't take till her mid 40's to realize it but I guess better late than never.
