you know it pisses me off that most people think you have to fight in a war in order to be a vet it drives me crazy!
I never used to call myself a vet either, since I wasn't in combat. (Still wonder to this day how I would have reacted though) Then a FReeper whose name I can't remember admonished me about that a while back. I'm coming around. It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks.
