No offense taken! I get that some of us haven't been making a good impression--otherwise the Navy wouldn't be riding our ass and we wouldn't be having this discussion.
So let me be the first to tell you that we're not all aiming to burn down every island in this stupid place, and those that are not aiming to do so would greatly appreciate any information they could use to improve the lives of the natives and our misinformed foreign ilk. Particularly when one such individual (not pointing any fingers even if I could over these journals, but here's a hint it's me) bothered to be helpful in the first place. Is it too much to ask for you to return the favor?
