you really might be surprised about what some of the "whiny parasites" have 
done, are doing, will do to the body ,  

by the by, "whiny parasite" is even more offensive than the origional "armchair 
officer" comment.  why the need to make these class statements that set one 
segment above / apart from the other.  just becuase some can be an officer 
dosn't make them in any way supewrior to the rank and file.  the attitude that 
it does simple perpetuate the "eliteist snob" attitude than has driven away so 
many over the years and keep so many silenet out on the edges.

who is to choose who is a "parasite" and who is not .. ??? and why is it 
necessary in the first place, why the need of a inferior social class to 
scapegoat the ills of the society on ???.

the dishonor comes in the insulting of those you find so inferior in order to 
make a point ... when you start making such public class distinctions, you're 
going to find people who find such insults intolerable.

i stand by my observations, my opinions, and my words ... find a way to make 
your point without villifying, or insulting those you do not consider your 
equal and i'll reconsider, so far i have seen nothing to change my mind.

i am no better than you ... you are no better than me ... we are *equals*
