the hero's of that war are known to those who were there...
It isnt medals, it isnt who will be the next president..for the bottem feeders to push this issue...shows us the carps the are...

I had several uncles in WWII and some of them were very seriously injured. They would never talk about "the war" even when 2 or more of them were together. I could never understand that then because i viewed them as heroes and wanted to hear their stories.

After doing my time in Nam aug 70 -aug 71 w/101st airborne, phu bai...and coming back home (thankfully in one piece) I could understand it.

I have lots of friends that were there and when we are together, whether at a bbq or fish fry or just visiting, Nam is very seldom if ever mentioned. I am not a "war hero", nor do i profess to be...I was a REMF and damn glad of it...some of my friends were not so lucky and left some body parts over there.

point is, if you were there, you don't need to talk about it...unit number and location is enough to establish validity and then a warm handshake and a cold beer and then the topic moves to something important.
