To all members of this forum,

I attempted to engage in intellectual conversation and improve the qualities I myself would bring to the military. Unfortunately, it seems I became a bit excited by these posts and the outstanding, accomplished people who were posting back. I exemplified immaturity, ego, and disrespect - these qualities would be detrimental to the military, and in certain circumstances, could result in getting others hurt. Many people have weaknesses and faults, and today I grossly illustrated one of mine. I'll be spending my time reading on this site from now on, and sincerely apologize.

I truly feel the discussion improved my ability to think about the issues discussed better, but consensus indicates it didn't help others. That undermines part of the purpose of this website, and I am well aware my postings/rants brought about this result.

Apologies again, and I am hopeful that I can make contributions in this world as many patriots here have,

Stu
