Reply #5: I had one Army buddy criticize me for my open contempt for bush.

[alfredo]

He said he saw no justification for my "hatred."

I could have done a point by point reply, but this guy got laid off six months before retirement, his 401k is worthless, and he had to go back to work. I decided to keep it short and sweet by asking him if he is better off now that he was eight years ago. The other guys are blasting him for not answering me.
