to the latter statement - It very well might.

to the first statement - I at no point was attempting to say that two people I know are indicative of everyone who serves in the military. I even, when describing this same person, stated that he was probably crazy before he went into the military. My point was more to describe the impact that serving on active duty has had in their lives. I'm allowed to be honest in my description of the people who I know who have served in the military. At no point did I even come close to implying that the military had made this man sexist. This specific person? Yes, he shouldn't be associated with, and I choose not to associate with him. But you're hyperfocusing on half of my provided example. It's true. I know a bad man who was in the military. You know what? I bet he's not the only bad man who was in it, either. Doesn't in any way or at any time in my comment mean that I am saying they are all bad guys. But Pabst should be fucking prepared for the bad ones.

I mean, I could get into the stories I've heard of soldiers burning dogs alive in Afghanistan, from people who have been there, but that's certainly not indicative of the entire military population either.
