[Mr Nobody]

[Internet Tough Guy]

why dont the hard to the core balls of steel internet soldiers enlist for the middle east,that will be remembered in the future like pearl harbor is now.

i tell you why, its more comfortable to throw around hard words in heated house on the keyboard

many of us have already served our respective nations honorably

so fuck off queerbait

[The Showstoppa]

well often fucking someone until they like it is the answer, even if it's painful in the beginning.

life is war.

= life is hell.

Funniest post I've read from you in awhile.

[galeniko]

many of us

yes ok, "ranger", does this include yourself?

or,haha, let me guess, you been jsoc and cant talk about it

[The Showstoppa]

I've dealt with vets as well...when I was a teen I used to volunteer at a old folks home. Had WW2 vets who had served in Pacific Theatre and that is what they told me. Also, had in HS a sub who we dubbed as "Colonel", he served in WW2, Korean and Vietnam. Said the same thing.
Maybe you don't sit down and actually talk to them. Who knows.

Yeah that trumps the rehab I provide on a daily basis because you talked to a couple of dementia patients.  I am flat telling you I deal with them directly on a daily/weekly basis and have never heard any of them mention it.  And we talk about far deeper shit than that.

Dude...no disrespect to you or your job. But this was in the 90s. I sat and talk to them. And as I said I had a sub in HS, he even brought in his uniforms from WW2, Korea, and Vietnam. I used to stay after school and talk to him.

I have family that go to the VA, and many don't like going to the rehab, or treatment, so some are apprehensive. Do you stay after work? Meet them in the library, look at photos. Talk to them about life--the war, their kids, when they met their wives...talking on hours at end?
I have...
See, if you are going to be dismissive to me---in an Internet thread, how does that bode well in terms of having a Convo with living history?

Hell in fact, most WW2 vets that I've encountered talk more than Vietnam vets, my family included.

Listen.  The job I do involves talking thru much of this. Not second had conversations with a HS kid. I'm glad you volunteered, but comparing a few visits to an actual profession that involves working with them daily is not even close.  I'm not talking about psych, but just getting to know them. As soon as they find out I have served they always want me to talk to. And acting like it's some "common knowledge" among WW2 vets that PH was A set-up is pure bullshit. It isnt.  Not even close.  Are there a few bitter guys? Maybe, but it isnt widespread.

I said a sub one that was used a lot , not second hand knowledge. You didn't even read what I wrote. Dude served in WW2, Korea and Vietnam.
He was the one that put me down with the Spanish American War, and said look at WW2, and Vietnam...said that America will always try to go war by getting the America public behind it first.
It's not just a few visits...
Thing is, some times I would see people in libraries, strike up convos, and be there hours on end. Meet up with the people talk to them again... You got a lot of people who just want to talk to people, pass down knowledge...
I'm not acting like it's common knowledge...that is what you perceive.
Nor am I suggesting that they are bitter.
I do know that some have expressed how this country has been has gone downhill. And I have told them that it was their kids (Baby Boomers) that they have to blame.

No, the bitter ones are the Vietnam and after ones---especially now.

I didnt talk about the teacher because that is one guys opinion.

Vietnam vets should and are bitter.  They were treated like shit.  And Korean vets are forgotten. 

Again, you know I have nothing against you personally.  I just resent when people bring up a CT and give the impression that "everybody knows".  Thats what I took from your original post. If not, thats cool.

its not cheating as long she alows me to watch

Yes, I can attest to what you say about the Vietnam vets...got family that have health issues due to Agent Orange. And yes, I have noticed that about Korean War Vets, as you said seems forgotten.
I wasn't trying to come off like it was a CT that everybody knows.

BTW, we have have snow...If you got any down there, I hope you know how to drive in it.

U have an obsession with all things homo. Good thing for "Don't ask, don't tell" ... soldier.

You're the queer here, bitch.

now fuck off, like you've already been told

None here, but after consecutive winters in Mass, Iceland for 2 and Germany for 2 I'm good to go.   

[Shockwave]

Sit down and talk with them.

Like when you talk to the Korean War  Vets and they'll tell you about "slicky boys"...dudes could steal your wallet and anything on your arms and you wouldn't know it. And then watch these same people come over here and open up shops in communities and you believe that many are law abiding citizens, but they know more about theft than the hoodlums in the neighborhoods.

uh, I have. A lot of them. My grandfather server in the end of WWII, his brother died in the Phillipines, and almost all of his friends that I grew up around were involved in WWII. The attitude youre espousing was literally non existent in these vets. They hated the japs with a passion and believed they pulled the ultimate sucker punch and were worthy of nothing but contempt.

I really have no clue who you were talking to, but of the dozen or so WWII vets ive known throughout my life, they all felt the way I described about. Absolute hatred and contempt for the unprovoked attacks.

as I said,  this attitude didnt really start becoming popular until lately. And its usually from people that have never served, or talked to anyone that served (not saying you havent), but read a few hisoteu books and had a liberal teacher telling them how evil the US and FDR were.

I really have no dog in this fight, I dont feel strongly one way or the other as we kicked their ass... but I literally have met zero actual WWII vets that thoifht they way youre speaking.  And I was obsessed as a child in talking with these guys... asking then about their experiences... I idolized these guys. And ive personally known and talked to guys serv8ng from cooks on Naval destroyers to a Marine grunt on Iwo, 4f4 pilots to my grandfathers old TBD copilot.

never once heard them say they knew the attack was coming.

A friend of mine, Airborne, used to espouse the virtues of Fords (in the snow, rain, and the dry) when he was stationed in Germany. That they were not like the Fords of America land.

We had Dodges.  Have to say they slways cranked and in Iceland I plowed through snow drifts that were over 10 ft tall doing 50 mph.

We won the war of bullets, but they won the war of manufacturing prowess. There are probably a ton of Japanese that look at us with contempt. Especially when you see what is on our roads---Japanese and German cars.

Goes to show, that not everybody has the same experience or holds the same views. Even if they have been thru the same or similar situations.

Look at me, did I just turn this into a car thread?    
He had some stories about Germany. How the locals knew what they were going to do before they did, and so on.
