Wow, what a thread!
@ TicToc:
I think, it was a good thing to apologize. Well done!
So, welcome to the board!
@ all Vets:
In a way, I'm a vet myself. I was "only" a conscript and I have no combat experience. But I can understand the bad feelings towards people, who only criticize (and often in an unfair way!) the military, not seeing the good sides. This certainly sucks.
I had a lot of arguments with people, because I defended the military. Especially in the end of the cold war period, a lot of Germans forgot about the necessary of alert forces. The current situation in the U.S. seems to be similar.
But I think, we can assume, that the vast majority of the board-members have a more positive attitude towards the military in general.
@ those, who reacted to my last post:
Thanks, gents, for your encouragement and support. This means a lot to me!
@ CdnWolf:
I'm fine with that.
BTW: Did you ever read Medic's sig?
