It’s tough on the body, that’s kinda what you sign up for when you enlist. I’ve got aches and pains associated with my time in the USMCR, but I hurt with fond memories of serving my country with my brothers in arms.
So you're fine with our troops needing delicate surgery because of equipment issues? Wow, OBL has it made...just sit back and watch your enemy spend his way into a depression while you just watch his soldiers getting knocked hors de combat without you lifting a muscle!
