[StartQuote] Although it takes very little to get my Temper going, I usually try to deal with people in a responsible manner. I received a very interesting E-Mail last nght from a supposed WWII Nay Veteran, who toally trashed the PT BOATS of WWII and the men who manned them. Although I refuse to give out his name, his E-Mail talked about the waste of material and men that were spent on PT BOATS. He talked about the wooden boats that were just so much junk and the high praise given to those who did nothing during the War. He siad that medals were handed out to PT BOAT MEN like water and were not deserving. I do not have the room here to list everything he said, but after reading this I had to write him back. He claims to have served in the South Pacific on a Destroyer, although he would not tell me which one (there is doubt here as to his service to our Country) as he claims to have been a gunners mate on 10 INCH GUN. He says he remember being in the Solomons and seeing those PT BOAT BOYS laying around taking in the Sun, and fishing off those hgh priced Yachts. I really lost my temper with this fool, and demanded he give me his number, or he could call me to discuss his reasons for bad mouthing these guys. He refused to do so, but said he would monitor this message board (I gave him the web address) and possibly voice his opinion here. I welcome him to come here, and I hope he reads this post. He is without a doubt the most idiotic person I have had to deal with, and my only wish is that I could meet him in person. Why he choose t contact me is a mystery, but the bigger picture is why he choose to attack those wonderful and brave men from the PT BOAT NAVY. I had many questions for this moron, but he would not answer them. If you read this Steve (his first name) be a real man, and tell the guys here what you have said to me. I am also calling your bluff and sayng right here and now that you are not a WII VETERAN and probably never even served on a Destroyer. What you are is a coward who just decided to attack men who put their lifes on the line every day in a wonderful wooden boat. I could go on and on, but my blood pressure is already at a fever pitch.................... [EndQuote]
