:Now I don't know your particular position on the [[Iraq]] War, so I don't know whether you personally are yellow or not. (You want to declare yourself? Go right ahead, and then I'll judge what color you are.)--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]] 12:07, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

I was not threatening you, merely illustrating that at one point in our mutual history calling someone "yellow" which is synonymous with "cowardly" was a grave insult that would lead to violence and possibly death.  Labeling people as cowardly because they are liberal or have some liberal views is an ad hominem attack.  Further, your list of democrats that did not serve in the military is most likely easily countered by a list of those that did, or of republicans that didn't.

As to my position on the Iraq war, I personally do not agree with it.  However, I have spent three tours there, and I will quite possibly go back for a fourth.  Now your little "yellow" comment about liberals would then mean that I am also a coward because I hold many liberal views.  I would ask you not to throw around such insults until you yourself have spent time at a casualty collection point and had the opportunity to see first hand what a bullet does to a person's chest.
