Dude, YOU are the one who started attacking service........And, it's none of your damn business whether someone has seen combat or not......What difference does it make?....If you served, you served.......If Ollie didn't serve combat time, so what?........Fact of the matter is, when serving, your life is on the line every day, for the simple fact that the shit can hit the fan at any given time. And lets not leave out the sacrifices a career soldier makes. Lets not forget the sacrifices of their families. It's not an easy life. It's not a stable life..........Did you see what happened in September of 01?..........I'm quite sure there was not a unit anywhere in this country that wasn't put on immediate alert......It could just as easily have been an attack by a foreign nation bent on war, using unconventional means.I recignize the strips , and the American leagon turned all vietnam vet away in the 70s , as did the VFW saying it was notv a war then called us losers
you should know that .
and you said this board is for lifers ?
well then I don't belong here as I had a life .
but I'll leave you with this , in 68 I arived in Ank kea , then sent to Chon Tun ,out to D company just formed a few moth early from people of C , and A ,
there were 6 of us myself and a guy from Boston went to the same platoon , replacement for the killed guys before us , a year of the , An Kae Bamby tewey , we were in Cambodia boarder , then 69 to 70 10th aviation door gunner , first slicks then gun ship , blue star and jokers .
we support the Korean white horse division , I served in 9 different major companies .
you can look up where we were , what provinces .
you and high on crack have done nothing but attack me and then claim you respect vets ? the worst insult you could do is call a vet a liar . you where not there you don't know crap about me .
oh and look up when the American legion excepted vietnam vets , then call me a liar .
So, you need to stand the fuck down.
ollie jumped on me and kept it up , they question my service , they followed my post to attack , sorry but I don't lay down for anyone , I gave them proof they can look up .
ollie tells me this is a lifer only thread ? ok ,
ollies full of crap well it was really an attack on me to say the American legion turned down applicant from viet nam vet in the 70s , he knew they did but went out of his way to slam me . so I slam back .as for lifers ? thats their choice as mine was to give 3 years , and I was slammed for that . it seem you just read a few post .
I'll leave the life thread , and they'll both attack me there , I have no respect for either and when they criticize combat solders ? screw your buddy's .
You really do believe that crap don't you? I suggest you go back through this thread and read it again. You started the shit. I pointed out that you were commenting on someones sig line. And I think with my experience in the American Legion I can tell you that you are full of crap. they have never turned down any Vietnam veteran who served honorably. Now knowing you from these few posts you might have been in an American Legion bar talking shit and cussing people out and they bounced your ass out of the bar. But they did not turn down a membership application because you were a Nam vet.
And I did not say this is a lifer thread. I do not even use the term.... That is a lower enlisted term that troops normally use as derogatory towards a career military person.
I said there was at least a half dozen careerists on this board. You don't even know who they are because some of them don't advertise it. Their choice.
You want to leave, get the fuck out. You want to act like a decent human being, that's fine too. But right now. you need help. Professional help...
