Heather Boylen: My sister is a spoiled brat who loves the US Navy and Medicine Inc. She quit talking to me years ago.

You should be grateful.

I’m sorry to hear that Timmy. I love my sister, she is so smart and funny but I honestly think the antidepressants have made her numb. If I try to talk to her about current events, she will either change the subject, ignore it, or say she tries to not listen to the news. Nothing will change if most Americans are on this kind of medication because it makes people so blah. How do we shake them out of it?

Heather Boylen: My sister hasn't been the same since she had chemotherapy. Those drugs change people. I agree with you about drugs changing a person's character. I don't know the solution.

Should we not all love the US Navy? They have saved civilization as we know it several times in last 100 years. Of course I am terribly biased being the father of a daughter who graduated from the US Naval Academy. Go Navy beat Army!

Ronald L. Montgomery: I had two uncles in the US Navy and a good friend's son graduated from the Naval Academy near the head of his class. He flew F-18s off of carriers and flew many combat missions in the Middle East. He flies for Delta now.

All of the wars since 9/11 have turned me off of the military. As for the US Navy, the lies about the Gulf of Tonkin and the horrible way the US Navy treated the sailors of the USS Liberty helped to turn me against the Navy brass.

There are good people in the US Navy and bad ones just like any other huge government organization.

Mystic William: Wasn't John McCain on the USS Forrestall? He did a hot start on the deck and all hell broke loose. McCain abandoned ship and would have been court martialled if not for his Admiral Daddy.
