This is the main reason I wanted to respond.
I am not doing this to disrespect active soldiers or the rank. I may not
always agree with the reasons for wars but I give my respect to the bravery
of people in the armed services. Any rudeness from calling you sergeant is
intended only at you the individual and not at the rank or soldiers in
general.
|
you finally admitted to some rudeness
|
I never denied it. Unlike you I’m usually aware of when I am or am not being
rude.
| |
It is like saying “Kill all the
lawyers,” few would strip away the nuances of that statement saying it does
not apply to all lawyers, just you.
|
No. Most would understand the difference. It takes a special sort of brain not
to see the difference. The kind of brain that would also do something
like this.

I do not expect him to respect me and I know he does not, but
it is a moniker of respect, not something to be ashamed of when used in the
correct fashion.
|
The correct fashion is while serving in the armed services or being
addressed formally outside it.
|
Here you are totally wrong. When you are retired from service you are
refered to as your last rank. You can see this on CNN and Fox news when they
have their retired Generals or Colonels commenting.
The mail I get from the
VA or from the Army is always addressed to 1SG.
|
Formal situations.
| |
One never outlives their rank.
|
I’m well aware of this. If I ever met you in a formal situation I would address
you correctly as First Sergeant (John) Patterson.
| |
You were thoughtless here and took the easy way out. I just think that
you could belittle me in a different way.
|
Not thoughtless at all. I thought that calling you sergeant would annoy you and
I was completely correct.
| |
When meeting with troops at Ft
Bliss I am always introduced as First Sergeant wheather it is by a private or
a general. And this was for your information.
|
Military situation. When trying to provide a counter-example it’s usually a good
idea to make sure it’s actually counter to what someone else has said.

Tim - I think that it should be left here. I was answering Richie anyway.

If you really wanted to leave it alone you wouldn’t bother making more
commentary.
