I'm not going to reply to all "Malicious" Marvin's latest litter box letter ... by the way, Mr. Gunter, the word is "intimidate" not "intimate."

The continued "sliming" of Sen. John McCain (Cmdr. U.S. Navy (Ret.)), a true American hero (something to which Gunter can never aspire), is not only disgusting but futile. Your audience is very small.

To "slime" me is laughable, because I don't give a damn about the Marvin Gunters of the world. Gunter claims he "served in the military." Okay. I served in World War II, in Korea (Chosin Reservoir, Operations Ripper and Killer), in Vietnam (I Corps, DMZ). I was decorated for gallantry in action and bravery under fire. I was "cited" in general orders, and was wounded twice in combat. I retired after 24 years of honorable service.

I was not a "despicable human being sent home in a body bag."

Gunter, I can talk the talk and walk the walk, can you? If not, back off. By the way, who, in the name of Nobama, is Monty Tapp? He said he didn't want my lip. Well, I don't give body parts to people I don't even know.
