Petty Officer Buchanan, I apologize for the eye comment. I have much respect for your sacrifices. I remain adamant about your injuries not being related to the issue. I am ex Petty Officer None of any body's business. I never claimed or insinuated I was a Seal team member. Everything I stated about my family's and my own veterans status is the truth. I went through some dive training with 5 Seals from different teams. I also went through some pre-d dive training with a mobile unit. When you figure this out , it is no ones business but mine and I hope you can respect that. I did not start this disagreement. I stepped from anonymity and said "Foul" when you said some pretty bad and incorrect things about those biologists. You even went so far as to try to bolster your argument by using minority bias like a playing card. The biologist wrote you citation for a violation, he did not interpret the law , he enforced it. It is not his place or his job to decide which law or regulation to enforce. The sad part of this ridicule towards DCNR folks is that some of them are the same one's that will put themselves into harm's way for you and others regardless of race, religion or political affiliation. This is just an observation but it seems to me that getting shot at sucks pretty bad, whether you are in combat in a foreign country or trying to apprehend a meth-head that is night hunting to support his habit. I never said that you do not have the right to keep and bear arms, to the contrary I am a staunch and active supporter. Good luck with your case OS1 Nun-ya Patriot
