You probably did in the Guard.
You wouldn't on active duty getting your ass shot at, however.
Wasn't in the Guard, asshole.
Oh, that's right. You never served.
Sorry....
My father, from Buffalo, joined the British Army in June 1941 to fight Nazis. Of course, he was sent to India. He was surrounded at Imphal June 6, 1844- I think he resented the lack of coverage of that incredible battle.
I'm seriously tired of loudmouths claiming to be more patriotic. Not you, just sayin'
i must ask this...how many days would obama - or any president - spend during the year if they commemorated every significant battle the us has been in during its history?
And like Bush, Obama went to France once for D Day.
"You'd Think Obama Could Lay a Wreath or Something...."
You mean in Wisconsin ?
And like Bush, Obama went to France once for D Day.
obama went to France, but not 'for' D-Day.
And that says something...
He'll go for the 60th, fool.

That makes SENSE.
Corpsmen - them and BM's - my favorites. GMs not too shabby either....
Blackshoes.
Actually - during my last tour - we could all wear brown shoes, and I did. Looked better in khaki. However - I would never claim to be an Airdale.....
The Mighty Battle Frigate Bowen, the Goin' Bowen, The First to Shoot at Beirut.
I was in her crew years later and made Chief while aboard.
I lost two good friends and the Nation lost two great Corpsmen (and many more) on October 23, 1983.
RIP Ronnie and George

As for me, I was an Infantryman. I know what you did for uncle Sam, so I find your attempts to claim my job was more REMFy then yours to be hilarious.
They put Infantrymen in silos now? My how times have changed since I was in.
Then it strikes me as even WORSE that they were not prepared for that driver.
The rules of engagement were ridiculous. So fucking "PC" didn't want to hurt any Middle East feeling. The guys souldn't even have a round chambered. You can't "undeploy" a whole MARG or MEU, or whatever the hell it was called - with three weeks warning. They got the Sailors out of there from the supporting ships (i.e. liberty cancelled), but the Marines were sitting ducks. Horrible thing that happened.
If the guys on the ground were allowed to run things, vs. the politicians - things would have gone a whole lot better.
What a fuck up.
And of course - Colonel Gerharty (again, sp) was made the scapegoat.
The rules of engagement for that campaign are on the internet if you're interested.
