I can't believe you are still harping on this. It is the law. You don't like it, fine. Change the law. Until then abide by it and expect others to abide by it as well.

I think you get off by arguing over and over with whoever you can. I choose not to help. Too disgusting of a thought.

I had a discussion with my father upon this topic and brought forth some of NonStop's comments about the military today.

I will paraphrase his comments back, today's military is much different in its means of combat. What he sees today apparently is a much different front than that of Korea and Nam.

I will leave the rest of his comments off the board, but lets just say that he has a much different view of combat than of today's forces.

Shawn, there are two sides to war. There is the horrible side a few experience, and there is the boredom most encounter. Even my Marine brother, an infantry squad leader (now platoon sergeant) who spent his Iraq tour in the streetfighting of Fallujah during the height of the conflict there and is really fucked up in the head because of it, said: "War is one year of boredom for 10 minutes of excitement."

Vietnam vets (and Korea vets, for that matter) can say what they will, but if you get them alone and in an honest mood, you find out that the majority of them had tours very much like the typical tour in Iraq too. I've only met a few Vietnam vest who were truly "in the shit" (like Foster was). What really blows me away is the number of guys wearing Vietnam Vet hats who never even got sent overseas, much less stepped foot on Vietnam soil. I imagine in thirty years we'll see old, crotchety men wearing Iraq War hats who never stepped foot in the sandbox, too.

In my experience, the ones who actually saw the shit don't talk about it.

For the record, he doesn't speak much of the experiences there and I have asked several people I respect about why, Foster being one in the past.

So you can take your assumption of my father, his word and stick it up your ass.

Direct enough?
