I was a little kid through most of that, but regardless, whenever I run into a vet at the bar, I will buy him or her a drink and say “thank you.” Once I talked my way into a veterans-only bar and there were a couple of guys there who fought in Korea and a few from Viet Nam. I got some drinks out of the deal. (The bartender, a lady, got really stern with me and made me leave, however.)
I was kinda liberal during the 80s - haha, the band I was in got a visit from the Secret Service because of a poster we had that showed Reagan and Carter with arrows through their heads.
I did vote for some Democrats. I feel pretty bad about that.
Anyway, in spite of the C-rats you are still here today and we’re all very grateful. :)
You fought communism. It was a pretty bad deal for everybody, especially servicemen and -women, but here we are and going to have to do it again, probably. #Wolverines
Except the commies aren’t overseas.
