I sure am glad that when I was a kid there wasn’t any reporters interested in anything I had to say!

Noone ever shot at me when I served, so this young man gets a free pass from me anytime. There was very little about the service I liked when I was in. Half the time I understood why they locked up our guns and seldom handed us ammo.

One thing you can bet: when he’s finished with his time, and prayerfully in one piece, he’ll be forever proud of his service. He’ll be looked up to by his friends and family. He’ll be able to look a lib and war protester in the eye, shake his hand, and wink at his gilrfriend, thinking, she’s going to bed with a pussy.

Here’s to you, kid!

Amen to that! When I was in, if anyone had caught me at the right time I would have given him an earful, but I never would have dreamed of trying to get out of doing my duty, and it sounds like this kid is the same way. Not only do I not regret my time in a combat zone, but it was really the only time I felt like an actual soldier. The rest of the time it was just a dog and pony show.
