[Harlan1196]

20 year retired navy officer here - USS Harlan County (LST-1196) was my first ship. Father was career Army, brother four years in the Army. Presently working as a defense contractor in Newport RI actively supporting current ops.

Manc has nothing to tell me about the military. It is crystal clear you don't either.

What’s crystal clear is that you are a leftist troll.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Thank you for your long and dedicated service to our country!

I belong to the Brotherhood of the 101st Airborne myself. And by all means, a most gracious welcome to FRee Republic, and I immediately apologize for the brainless attacks from the few “mail-order/arm-chair” Generals (most of whom, have never served themselves.) on this forum who know it all, in all things Military.

Forgive them, because they know not what they do, or say.

All I can say is, hold your chin high and hang in there. You rank with the best FRiend.
