As I said, I do not disagree with the premise. I disagree with the usage of "Cake Walk".
You have the right to make that comparison dogbyte12, right or wrong, and would only have to answer to another combat vet.
I regard myself as a thoughtful and principled person (a conceit, I am willing to admit) and as such, I cannot and would not make the "cake walk" statement. Given his history, neither should Domenic Harr. That is what I have an issue with.
I am a vet, but not a combat vet. I was in a light infantry batallion but got out of the service between wars actually.
But, alot of my buddies did go to Gulf War I, I got out right before Hussein invaded Kuwait. Back to my point though. It's all individual experience. For the person blown up, it sucks, for REMF's it can be kinda easy. I don't like cake walk because to me at least, it lessens the bravery of those who are there. It's not easy.
