A lot of these guys (and gals) entered the service thinking they had a part time job, career training, and tuition assistance....

Oops, kinda forgot about people shooting at them and so on. God bless ‘em.

Soldiers have complained about their lot since the beginning of time. Just like civilians complain about their jobs, or kids complain about their schools. It’s what people do.

It DOES suck to be over there! Especially to a 21 year old?

It sucked for me to be sent to England when desert storm broke out. I thought it sucked being in Plattsburgh NY at the time at a SAC bomber base, where it was cold as all hell.

Bad timing for me. Sucked.

It sucked for the 101st airborne to be surrounded by the nazis.

Sucked to be on Iwo Jima too.

Alot of surviving sailors said it sucked to be in Pearl Harbor when the war broke out!

WAR SUCKS!

Doesn’t make the mission any less important, not to mention the outcome!

All those young men that survived to live to be 80 to tell about it STILL say it sucked to storm the beaches of Omaha when THEY were 21 !!!

I can’t imagine too much that sucks worse except perhaps not fighting for freedom.

Now THAT would REALLY suck!
