Folks,
I think Bruce made a very simple plea. He was completely forthcoming and open about his motivation and stated his needs. But the request itself was more of a Yes or No type of request. If you can help, then help. If you can't, shouldn't, or won't, then don't. But I don't feel there is much need for opinion on this matter.
However, if an opinion is what you need, here is mine. As a person who has dedicated himself to preserving our freedom, I believe he has earned the right (Bruce would say "privilege") to be spared your criticisms about the task at hand. Let it be your "Thank You" for his service if you will. And for those of you will now direct your ire towards me for fighting his battle, I am OK with that, as Bruce has fought mine.
