Nobody chokes on their morning coffee when reviewing a pull request for "pantyshot". Such people ought to be sent to the front line in all-out war to learn to deal with some real issues in life.

Besides, men wear panties too. I've seen them do it.

I don't see the connection to being sent to war: It seems like you are trying to say "because this (war) is more unpleasant, you have nothing to complain about", which makes no sense.

I think he was trying to say that experiencing high magnitude discomfort puts low magnitude discomfort in perspective.

Also, knowing several Iraq veterans before and after, it seems to get you very comfortable with offensive language :p
