upset

couple watching TV...

wife:  'these military men are so touchy...'

husband, a retired military officer, quickly objects:  'that's not true!  military men are very understanding!'

wife:  'well, that is my observation...'

husband:  'your observation is not accurate.'

wife:  'that is my opinion...  military men easily take offense...'

husband:  'your opinion is unfair!  military personnel are one of the most understanding, if not the most understanding.  they're unflappable.  you have to think clearly because lives are on the line.  you consider so many things.  you put up with so much.  otherwise your people could get killed; they could get wounded.'

wife:  'but that doesn't mean they don't get touchy.'

husband:  'you civilians don't understand these things!'

uhm, i think the husband just demonstrated the wife's point...  peace...  ; )
