Hey, kid.
I was serving my country in overseas theatres when you were still crapping in your hands and smearing it on your face.
Your service...no matter when it was...no matter how long ago it was...no matter how young I was when YOU did it...in no way negates my years of service...my overseas theatres...my wars. Yours are no more important than mine.
You, however, diminish your accomplishments and dishonor those fallen comrades when you show yourself to be like those Leninist hippies of your generation...willing to defile yourself for gain.
Yeah...so continue to proudly proclaim your service. Al Gore was in Vietnam too. So was John Kerry. Maybe you guys can team up and steal some votes together.
