Sooo ... I guess my question is, what do you feel constitutes a veteran?

Does a veteran always have to be sunshine, lollypops and rainbows?

Does being rigorously honest mean we aren't supportive? Even if that means calling you on your ****?

    I have been closely monitoring this thread and taking things into consideration. This forum was actually created out of your requests to me to have your own place, so please do not think we do not listen to what you are saying. On the contrary, we are very interested in your opinions. I will look further into this tomorrow, and will chat with Alex a bit more on the subject and get back with you in the next couple of days.
