You didn’t insult some nebulous group. You insulted one individual in particular, and your rationalizations are growing more and more ridiculous.
How are my rationalizations growing ridicules? If you are talking about the advanced security clearances in the military my claim is exactly rational. If you had ever had one, undergone the background checks, and taken the repetitive mandatory classes you would know this. These points were not subtle, they were pounded into us.
