Reply #10: When the RW first attacked, I thought it was dumb and nitpicking.

It was only when I saw my special forces acquaintenance (that's the other thing -- that guy is aloof for sure. He's always checking the perimeter even at kids' b-day parties. I gave him a hug when he arrived safely back from Iraq and it was like hugging a tree -- a stiff board with no reaction), that I just wanted to get me and my Kerry sticker adorned car out of there as quickly as possible. But he said nothing, and now more time has gone by and hopefully Kerry's remark has been largely forgotten. (I may add, I think he's probably a nice guy, it's just he's hard to get to know. He doesn't do small talk). Had I not seen him, I probably would have had no qualms about Kerry's remarks. Does that make any sense?
