This is the actual point in contention. So, I ask again, how do you define one who "serves the armed forces"?
No that is not the Actual Sticking point between kutnupe14 and myself. I want to know how does one get the ability to call one a Coward when many of their life points are similar?!
Both went to College instead of the Military...
Both then decided to follow Civil Service Careers...
What makes one a Coward, and the Other a Hero?!
The Only difference to me is one went beyond just Serving their City, to a State and National Role...
Smells of hypocrisy to me...
Thanks for attempting to steer the Conversation to what you feel is a point of Contention though...
Because I knew this would come up later in the discussion, I intentionaly used the phrase “served THE armed forces” rather that “served IN the armed forces”
The job of civillian military personel is to serve the united states military
The guy who pushes a mop in the pentagon also "serves the armed forces". Is he also exempt from ever being called a coward?
How does being a politician prove someone's courage?

Clearly I do not like/support Cheney. However,
Avoiding the military doesn't make you a coward.
Joining the military doesn't make you a hero.
Since you're newtothis, I'll let you in on a little secret. Saying idiotic stuff like this doesn't make you popular like the big kids. It just makes you sound ignorant. You don't know a single thing about me.LOL, I enjoy being a jerk.
If I have to deal with people being butthurt, then I dont wanna sit at the big kids table.
Depends. Did he dodge the Draft? Or did he avoid the Draft? Or was he old enough to experience the Draft? Or did he ever do something cowardly? Your question has no bearing on the subject of Cheney, other than, yes, both are "serving the military" in their own way.

And steveh_131 ought to know, because he's living proof.
Nobody here is butthurt. Just enjoying some laughs at your expense.
Kutnupe was accused of calling someone who "served the armed forces" a coward.
He denied that by pointing out that Cheney never "served the armed forces".
You said "Oh really!?" then pointed out where he called Cheney a coward.
Kutnupe is still correct that he never called anyone who "served the armed forces" a coward. He called Cheney a coward.
So you were wrong, once again. Now's the time to just man up and say you misunderstood the argument that was taking place.
your apparent need to be the smartest guy in the room
LOL!!!
You are such a Troll at times...
Still doesn't answer my Question to kutnupe14 now does it...

being correct isn't necessarily trolling
What does being correct have to do with you?
Well I wouldn't say I'm the "smartest" guy.
I'm definitely the best looking. And probably the richest.

Doubt it...
I think Melonsdad wants to think he also lays claims to those titles...
