I really apologize that my sarcasm was so poorly presented.

When I used the word "Privates I was meaning the private parts of our political leaders.

I have two sons who have served (one currently) in the Army. The one who is now out has received a medal for valor.

I certainly do respect and admire our Troops as much as anyone.

Again I apologize for the remark and will ask for it to be removed.

Accepted. I did later think that perhaps that's what you meant (private parts). Thank your sons for their service.

All the best to your two fine sons. They are among America's best. I know you're proud.
