Just an opinion from the peanut gallery:

I didn't think that they were being derogatory with that comment. In the military we all know that a "good deal" in quotes is not really a good deal. That is the way I took it, maybe you guys have a history with Airbusdriver, but I took the comment in the not really a good deal context, not an accusation that you were taking advantage of a really good deal.

Not like me to be accused of being sensitive or anything, but maybe you guys are a little spring loaded to the defensive on the mil leave issue.

Anyway, I thank you for your continued service and would give my left nut to fly the F-22.
