Top Fuel Driver Massey Dumped By Schumacher

I've always thought that as a goodwill ambassador and role-model for "MY" Army, Tony Schumacher has done an outstanding job. His use of the nickname "Sarge" and having Sergeant's stripes on his race car never bothered me at all, because I know how much he's done for the U.S. Army, and they were conferred on him by someone with a lot more rank than I ever had. It might be a different story if he asked everyone to call him Sergeant Schumacher, which he never has. And there are at least a few Soldiers who I made sure understood that you don't call a Sergeant of any rank "Sarge"!

I agree with Koski, it is an insult to those of us that earned the stripes I got mine while vacationing in sunny Cambodia
