Did I seriously just read a post claiming that Potato is using his military experience as an excuse? Seriously? Have y'all ever been shot at by an enemy that wants nothing more than you to be dead? How about dealing with the survivors guilt of making it back home alive when some of your buddies didn't? How about some your buddies taking their lives not long afterward because they couldn't cope? How about having to deal with all of that in a comparatively short time. Y'all don't understand what the does to you. Y'all don't understand how your entire personality, psyche, EVERYTHING about you changes. If you seriously think that's an excuse then you need to do your own soul searching because there's something seriously wrong with you too.

I was also in the Army and I have personally vetted Potato's service over the last few years. As I said in my last post, I can also verify his personal progress since the ban occurred and I am so proud of him for that. Those who said he needs a wake up call, trust me he's already had one. I do ask that you at least respect what he's been through and not call it an excuse any longer. To do so is disrespectful not only to him, but to myself and anyone else who put their life on the line for their respective country.

This has been my lightly pissed off soap box. Please don't make it a mega pissed off one.
