    Siscoe, you can't simply choose to ignore what everyone else has posted, define the conversation in your own narrow terms, put words in my mouth, and then claim to have discovered a valid moral criticism. ....Well, you can, but you being that transparent would risk offending even amateur Trolls.

    Not fair to the service of everyone who has responded on this Thread to judge the thanks they deserve as 'simple'. How are their positions 'indefensible'?

    Replies to "Thank you for your service." Above field-grade I'm not sure that the difference between malice and incompetence means anything, because the result is the same.

    Replies to "Thank you for your service." Missed the point: His thanks isn't about you; it's about him. There's no teaching opportunity when the other isn't listening.
