OMG, I know. But, the whiners do not, it seems. Once I had a nice gentleman internet chat friend who was in WWII in the European theater. He was in an ordinance company and followed the troops, several weeks behind. He actually followed his older brother who was on the front. His brother told him after the war that of 200 men in his tank company, he and another soldier were the only survivors.
