Peter, I haven’t followed rfc that closely over the past couple of days,
reading only very selectively, so I’m not sure what you’re referring to.

I have never been a soldier, so I really cannot relate to what being a
soldier is like, although I can imagine it is very difficult if one is on
active duty, especially during times of war.

I don’t have a problem with that.

I am not jealous of your life style, so I don’t have a problem with that
either. More power to you. I had planned on an early retirement, but my
life savings was wiped out, so I will probably work until I can no longer
work. I used to resent that, but not any longer. I like my job and the
people I work with.

> And, as you will never understand what I have suffered during my life,
> I do not expect any sympathy.

What have you suffered during your life? Almost everyone has suffered
something if they’ve lived long enough, and most try to work past it.
