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.

Glad you were only joking! When you said that about yourself, it really did hurt. The soldiers from Viet Nam and Korea, deserved so much better than they got, in all seriousness, and no matter what the rank or service, what our Military does and has done is appreciated and respected. I wish, looking back, that I were able to have taken advantage of the opportunity to serve my country and develop some of the qualities instilled in our troops! God bless you, no joke! : ) (No cool emojis either, darn it!)
