Hi, Julius. What I admire most about your post, What it Means to Me if I Follow You, is your humility. I mean, I must wonder why you are so humble. Were you abused in childhood? Perhaps, you took bullying in grade school? Did you have intimacy issues with your first girlfriend? Who knows? Certainly, not me. My wife and kids accuse me, and come to think of it, most people who are friends, of knowing little. And as truth proved, everyone is correct.

Of course, as a Vietnam veteran, I have been certified as crazy by the VA. But what do they know? I function. Isn’t that enough? What? Do you think it's not enough? But my training taught me to react without the benefit of the thought process. My actions saved my team, me, and others repeatedly, but it seldom works in civilian life, where everyone tries to impress by displaying cerebral acumen. Nope! Not this moron, and I have more than one medal to prove it.

Oh, before my ADHD and PTSD kicks in, I liked your article, and as you see, you got me thinking. Now, that Julius is an accomplishment! Without being condescending, I’m proud of you and give thanks. All the best. Regards.
