I mean military veterans. Mr. Smith fought in Vietnam and Thunderland fought in the Gulf War.

Salishe is a Viet Nam vet and there was a guy by the name of Apple Zero who was currently serving in Iraq.

I am a veteran. Retired disabled veteran to be precise.

Ooooo!! *applause* both of them served their country, that's very honourable, even if soldiers during 'Nam were drafted later on.

Isn't Myrth a vet? Someone- I can't remember who for the life of me- said he was. Don't know if s/he was joking or not, though...

I am currently in the Army, serving in Arizona. Tried my damndest to get over to Iraq. My wife was an Arabic Linguist, with a focus on Iraqi dialect before she got out. We are a proud military family.

Bless you, soldier!



But as for you, Robert Mugabe... :upyours:

I might end up one- I'll get back to you in 30 years. Save the thread.

I remember someone else mentioning their military status in a thread on Bush (as a Vet for Bush), but I can't remember for the life of me who it was or what they participated in.

For the amount of guys I knew who didn't comeback those medals are meaningless, I actually had to go and look in my closet for them, I don't really even look at them anymore. What we did was basically a suicide mission, esp. since we had to fly 100 missions for our tour, sometimes up to 4 a day against heavy enemy fire, all the while looking for and killing SAM's and giving occasional support to the grunts on the deck. Now that we are older, most of us wondered why we even voluntered for the Wild Weasles. Most of us were young (foolish), adventurous, and loved America. Give your mom and dad my regards.

By the way my squd leader earned the MOH, as did his wingman.
