My father, and his father before him, were military veterans in their middle age.

I lived in a trailer park in Iowa when I was a kid.

Not sure why you think those are negative things.

My brother is a Lt. General in the airforce, my father was in the airforce as well.

I find it so funny that you, and others on this site take such offense to an image I had in my head.

Imagine John Goodman from Lebowski....

Frankly, that was the image I had in my head - I wasn't trying to offend or be negative. Maybe you're sensitive?

isn't being negative exactly what you were trying to do? unless you were trying to conjure up positive images of experts exchange.
