I started to cut it off at first but glad I followed through. Thanks. I've become so sick and tired of people saying thank you for your service I now reply that I had a good time. :)
I am the same here, I do not like people "Thanking" me for my service. They will never understand. I do not want to be thanked for some of the shit I had to do. Only another combat grunt knows and all we have is look into his eyes and we know.
Thanks Brock, that was powerful. I wasn't in Nam, but I was at other places that were as fucked.
