Checked your home page. I'm still not impressed. Did you get a CAR for Berlin? Can't say I remember a shooting war in that area since 1976.

You seem pretty secure with yourself. I suggest you go to your local VFW, and tell those Vietnam vets how war is really fought (call in air bombardments, then pay the locals to go in the caves).

No, you receive the Army of Occupation Medal for serving in Berlin. And we had casualties there when I was there '78-'81. 'Course, the average Joe didn't know about them. Ft. Huachuca has a Nicholson Hall. Named after an MI soldier KIA in E. Germany while I was there.

Your comment about paying locals to go into the caves...are you suggesting we're letting Afghanis do the dirty work? How then would you explain 7 U.S. KIA? If we're paying for our fighting to be done, how did they get to be there in the first place?

You've already said you've never been with 5K miles of combat. You don't know what you're talking about, so don't. Talk about it.
