Is there a combat vet, that has provided a true account, voluntarily, of there story??? Shit man, is there one that can speak to these young punks?? I can not, in all personal honesty, say "listen now, and I'll tell the truth" ! My LAST word here...

[billy]

c'mon uncle stevie.
what about the time you saved the president from bigfoot?

[stalebiscuit]

im confused here, whats the dilly?

[FS00008]

Yea, what happened?

[Jersey Jailer]

AHHH......nothing really happened, no big deal.

[TheWanderingMind]

You mean, "There I was, out of ammo, ideas and altitude simultaneously... And that's when I screwed up, zigged left and ran right into the suckers... And took one out with my bayonet and the others couldn't get their weapons up so I ran..."?

At least, that's what one of my Marine buddies told me... He's got the bayonet scars from a VC Mosin and the bullet scars from an NVA AK to back him up when he starts his war stories - and only when he's drunk enough...

You'll find a few of them who'll tell you the honest-by-God truth, if you pour enough brewskis into them.

And then there's me, the non-"combat" veteran, and I know enough about the subject to be able to bluff my way through to a real combat veteran if I chose to do so. But I don't...

So, what's the gig? Fake medals or just big-mouth-itis on somebody's part?

I laid on a Hand Gernaid one time...When I was a kid. We were playing Army and one of the other kids that was the enimy through it.

I sat in the desert and worked on airplanes so we could load them up with Army and others to go kill people. Not very glamorous.

SwedeSteve; Sir; I enjoy reading about the SHTF stuff. WOW We

They forget we'uns that take medicine, need a real pot to sit on and really cannot remember the dumb assed ''situation'' we got ourselves put into.

Eatin dirt, bugs bitin, ears numb, eyes achin, feet raw, laying, in mud, raining at times, snow at times, stinking so bad, thinking about Hawaii and the kola girls with some moron trying to get a promotion. and me with a crotch itch

How about the youngin's, how about the city girls, with make-up, high heels, lip gloss, skirts too short how about them mommy's and pappa's that don't move along too good.

What about the pet rabbit, cat, dog, hamster, fish in-a tank.

[Legba]
