Wherever did you get the idea that some people think these things of you? I found it rather amusing, especially after I read the exact definitions for them at this site.

A Jingoist is an extreme bellicose nationalist. Well, I guess some of the adjectives might be appropriate but since you are in the military, why not?
A traditionalist was described in theses words: one who adheres to traditional views or one who is stubbornly conservative and narrow-minded. No way! You are very broad-minded and are well read in so many fields.
As for mistaking you for a fundamentalist Christian…those observers must be poor readers or they don’t know what those words mean.
Of course, for some reason, I probably see you in a much different light than most people.
(Just yesterday, I had thoughts about your old scoutmaster also. He was a good guy.)
(Is there really a word spelled anyways?) Is that last question deserving of a trolling/)
