Will You Forgive My Rant And Bad Language towards SPC Kyles Kinus

SGT Private RallyPoint Member — Sun, 19 Apr 2015 14:04:24 -0400

I want to appologise to SPC Kyle Kinus and the entire RP community for my rants, raging, and language. Also, to SPC Kyle Kinus, regarding his service in the military. I was out of line and will be more tolerant from now on. Kyle I feel really bad for the way I treated you. This apology isn't to make me feel better about myself. That will take more time. It is from the bottom of my heart. I hope you will accept it. SGT Keith Bodine

We all make mistakes - it takes a lot to apologize and ask for forgiveness, and sometimes even more to actually forgive others and often ourselves!

Thank you for stepping up and taking responsibility for a mistake, it is a true sign of a leader, and speaks volumes for who you are as a person. We all make mistakes, but only the strongest of us can publicly show our ability to be humble.

Totally awesome. I have 100% respect for your Integrity. This is how NCO's are supposed to Act. Own what you do, take responsibility for it and if necessary make amends. You have honor and class. I'm glad to say I know you.

Happily accepted. Our back-and-forths on RP can get heated, as un-emotional OR as compassionate as we may wish to be. I've certainly been accused of the same thing, and didn't respond with near as much humility or discipline as your apology here shows. I appreciate what you've said here.

My profile is a bit vacant, by design. But frankly, I don't have much else to show for it. What you see is what you get. You made a hasty judgement in a vacuum. Who in the military hasn't done that a time or two?

To quote an ornery but wise sergeant that once had to deal with my stubborn self: "S'all good, soldier."
