I don’t understand how someone can be “in the process” of leaving off-topic. This isn’t like withdrawing from Vietnam.
I’m glad you felt it was a nice thing to say. As a Veteran myself I find this comparison to be in very poor taste. This alone is reason enough for one to consider leaving Frink’s off topic.
If you think that this is a slight against veterans then I don’t know what to tell you. That’s ridiculous.
