"I was just a puke faced, know nothing enlisted man,"

Ok, off-topic, from a non-veteran. Maybe you guys talk like that amongst yourselves, but please know that no matter how disrespectfully the media and some jerky, misguided folks acted toward our veterans, there are those of us who hurt to see you describe yourself like that. You went in harm's way when you were called, and I, for one, wish to thank you! We pray every day for our Military, here on FR, and are grateful for your sacrifice. God bless you!

Thank you for the kind words, but you made me smile again. We don't go around describing ourselves as puke faced enlisted men. Liberals probably do, but I am referring back to an officers handbook from MANY, MANY, MANY years ago, that I saw in NCO leadership school in the 70s. They did not use those words. The exact words they used to describe enlisted people were "enlisted men are sly but stupid" How enlisted men can be sly and stupid at the same time, is beyond me. I doubt most officers actually believe that drivel, but some probably do. You would almost have to be a veteran to understand where we are coming from. There is always some distrust and animosity between officers and enlisted, but then again, I have seen the same thing between lower enlisted and higher enlisted, and lower ranking officers, and higher, so it can run that way too. It sounds kind of like life in general doesn't it? Sorry you were not a veteran. 😄😃😀😊 Chill out, I am joking again.
