Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 If I may, having read these posts (and commented on some) take issue with an oft-used cliche: > Until you've walked a mile in their > shoes..... > There are some shoes it would be wisest to stay out of, unless you want corns ;=) If you carried your remark to one of its conclusions, we should be advocating mercy for murderers and some heinous dictators, etc. if we haven't had the opportunity to walk their mile. Not a good idea, I think ;=) best, pat sant > I never have been interested in war. > > But I do have a healthy respect for the veterans whom > fought in wars.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Yes, but the shoes of dictators and murderers weren't the foot covers I was speaking of. Only combat boots...Worn by the men and women of our armed forces. That overly used cliche was directed only at them. You're right, many shoes I'd rather not walk in.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 I'm having trouble understanding your hmmmm. And why you would be so put off by me commenting on my respect for men and women in the military.
