A Wake Up Call From Luke AFB
"Peter R." wrote in message ... On 7/10/2007 1:29:34 AM, Clark wrote: Not at all. My first real world boss was Navy and a Vietnam vet. I won't type what I'm thinking about your nature, but it isn't good. I believe you have misunderstood the poster's intent. Based on my interpretation, he was stating that he doesn't understand why a former Navy/Vietnam vet would not know the importance of a flyby. I will go out on a limb here to suggest that he was in no way suggesting any disrespect for either the Navy or a Vietnam Vet status. Reread his post to see if that makes sense. Nope. No change. His question, paraphrased, was, "How could a Navy vet also be a Vietnam vet". I see nothing to connotate the letter writers misunderstanding a Missing Man Formation. If you can detect otherwise, please show us. |

A Wake Up Call From Luke AFB
Matt,
His (Neil Gould) original post listed 2 statements (each containing unfortunately 2 clauses), namely: "[...] I had no idea of the significance of the flyby, and would never have insulted such a fine and respectful display had I known. [...] I served in the U.S. Navy and am a Vietnam veteran. " He then asked "Anyone else have trouble reconciling these two statements?" I believe that your paraphrasing of his question is incorrect and inaccurate. Subsequent posts by Neil (i.e. "What does that have to do with the question at hand: what Vet wouldn't know the significance of a flyby formation???") further support that contention. Hopefully that's clear enough for you. On Jul 10, 1:00 pm, "Matt Barrow" wrote: "Peter R." wrote in message ... On 7/10/2007 1:29:34 AM, Clark wrote: Not at all.

If you can detect otherwise, please show us. Below, between the ----- is what was in Neil's post. ------- According to Snopes.com, this incident was in 2005. http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/wakeup.asp There was another letter that continued this topic. To his credit, the complainant, Mr. MacRae, tendered a written apology which was published in The Republic on 9 July: [...] I had no idea of the significance of the flyby, and would never have insulted such a fine and respectful display had I known. [...] I served in the U.S. Navy and am a Vietnam veteran. Anyone else have trouble reconciling these two statements? Neil --------- If he had done a little snipping he would have posted this. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX [...] I had no idea of the significance of the flyby, and would never have insulted such a fine and respectful display had I known. [...] I served in the U.S. Navy and am a Vietnam veteran. Anyone else have trouble reconciling these two statements? Neil XXXXXXXXXXXX Statement Number 1 I had no idea of the significance of the flyby, and would never have insulted such a fine and respectful display had I known. Statement Number 2 I served in the U.S. Navy and am a Vietnam veteran. |

His post is ambiguous at best. My interpretation is reasonable even though it may or may not have been the author's intent. I'll maintain my stance on the author's nature. Very well. We all need a cause and it appears that you have advanced yours. -- Peter |

Do you have a point? Yes. My point is that you are making something out of nothing and seemingly damn proud of it. The original author had no intention of disrespecting Navy or Vietnam vets, yet even after he attempted to explain himself you still stand by the opinion that he did. As if you have never, ever posted a thought on Usenet that could have been misinterpreted by the reader... -- Peter |
