One of the great blessings we enjoy in our country is the ability to freely express our opinions. You may not agree with or even like Hoop's, but preserving that right is one of the reasons that I served. He has contributed to this forum on many topics and while I disagree with his comment on this one I stand by his right to make it. IMO negative ad hominem remarks serve no purpose and are out of line with the give and take we enjoy on this site.
