You're asking a fucking lot for your second fucking post.

Some of those questions don't offend, they fucking irritate. It's also too much like the rough draft of a news article. You simply don't know us well enough tp be so impertinent as to ask about political points of view and who has taken lives. You expect a critique of the Army from us? An introspective on the current conflict? My...favorite...part of the fucking...day?

I usually consider it common courtesy not to ask if somebody has killed somebody before.
I mean service members will shoot the breeze all day, but when I was a civilian, it wasn't my right to know.

Had a kid ask me this once when I was in college. My response?

"Do you masturbate?"

(look of confusion on his face)

Because that's an awfully personal question, which we all pretty much know the answer to.

End of conversation. The teacher about fell out of her chair when the kid asked, but nearly shit herself when I responded.

Question 2: What do you think is the Army Ranger's favorite part of day? Being able to double time away from a really FUBAR jump!

I realize now that it was inappropriate asking such personal questions. I am really sorry that I offended any of you.
I hope that a simple apology will be enough, as I don't know a different way of showing you through a forum that I feel ashamed of myself.
Kid, you are young. This will NOT be the first spiderweb you walk into face first.

That expression always causes flashbacks.
