For the last 10,000 years civilians have been dissing the military.
And for 10,000 years mothers have been outraged because of it and men in uniform have held their heads up high and walked elsewhere.
Or went in anyway and busted the place up. :-)

There isn't a vet on this board who hasn't been through this.

It still sucks and you should NEVER have to go thru it. You should have your beer tab picked up by the bar, IMHO. (Thank you for your service.)

Semper Fi, Joe. Thank you for your service.

Now that you mention it, I can't count the number of bars that didn't allow sailors in, or the number of bars that were off limits to sailors. We brought it on ourselves.

LOL- I was JUST thinking the same thing. This weekend my son (in uniform) was screamed at by a middle-aged woman for being a soldier and "trying to kill all our young people" and other assorted hysterical rantings.

My reaction was outrage- my son's was laughter. We civilians could learn a lot from watching our soldiers "deal" with life:)

I had saved this thread from a while ago, has to do with what vets went through after Nam. Some good personal stories on here. I think this prof got a bit of a tounge lashing... (urban myth spitting on vets) :)
