You may have had no alterior motive at all. It could be just another case of how bad you are at choosing words that communicate your message at the moment.

"From the way you talk, you fought in 3 different wars and a few covert operations to boot."

If your question was "What is your combat service record?"

and not 'I bet you never saw combat while you were in the armed services', you might want to skip phrases like "from the way you talk" , limmit the number of operations you mention to a believable amount instead of the seemingly sarcastic "3 different wars and a few covert operations" and skip 'to boot' which I've never seen used in a non sarcastic context.

It's not investigation, Vince, it's reading. Simple as that. It's not fair to blame me for your bad writing.
