Hope, as a teacher, you have intellect in other than history.

Have a good day. ("odd almost meaningless phrase to express an emotion that has to be expressed for a person to feel better")

You missed the point but, ok, thanks! Your quote is correct and my disagreement is with the correctly expressed quote being used in a golf forum to mislead a person looking for golfing insight. Otherwise, as my six family members who have served in American armed forces will tell you, I am generally a fan of the military killing evil people and breaking their expensive toys.
