There are more people claiming to be be Vietnam Vet’s than the total of those who served in Vietnam. As you said, those of us who did serve can sniff them out rather easily. Not sure why they do it but a person who served honorably gets the same amount of respect from me as one who saw combat. There’s no real glory in war, just allot of hurt and destroyed bodies and minds.

Some, certainly not all, really isnt intentional. Some of those in that age category are getting up in their years.

Including my dad, there were 9 males last generation, 7 served. One was burned real bad before going in and couldnt go. That left one who never tried nor seemed to have any interest.

As the years went by they sarted dying and with each passing the one who never served would become an ever greater warrior "remembering", actually just retelling, the few stories the others had once shared.

By his end, when he wasnt catching squirrels on fire with beams from his eyes, he would tell of wars most people never heard of, and they wouldnt have because he had won them single handedly.
