In Tribute to Combat Vets

[Daryl Hunt]

We all know that Mr. Rogers was a WWII combat Vet. But what would it look like if a Vietnam Combat Vet with PTSD that didn't get help did a Childrens show?

 

[Auld Phart]

How is that a 'tribute' to combat vets?

 

[Maxdeath]

Maybe you should look up the word tribute. It does not mean what you Obviusly think it does.

This urban myth again? Fred Rogers was never in the military.

Old school was plain old alcoholism. PTSD became alcoholism/drug addiction w/benefits

I thought the OP's video was an insult to American veterans and perpetuates the lefty liberal stereotypes about them.

On a personal note, it demeans the sacrifice of my close friend I served with who has his name engraved on the "Wall".

I served with a couple of those on that same wall. And one thing we all had in common was a dark humor to compensate for a bad situation. Yes, it's an exageration but not by a whole hell of a lot for some I knew (they are dead now of various health reasons). I would like to say if I offended anyone I appoligize but I won't. Humor is humor and this is dark humor much like we practiced to get through the day and night. If you can't understand it, then you rode a desk or didn't serve in the mud.

No biggie, mang. It's just your turn to be in the barrel today. I'll probably get mine tomorrow.
