I was stationed in Bankok in 1968-1969. When I went back to the states I was given the Viet Nam Campaign Ribbon even though I wasn't in Viet Nam. Being an R&R Center I spoke to guys from Nam. They went thru hell & when they came back to the states they were spat on & called baby killers. That wasn't right. They were serving there country. I will admit a few went too far but that wasn't the case for the most part. When I talk to a Viet Nam now a days I tell them "Welcome Home". Just letting them know there service was appreciated. Now everyone is saying "thank you for your service". Too bad they didn't do it back then. I was also at Walter Reed Army Hospital & saw what war did to them. GOD brought bless them & the USA.

While I am sure that you felt some sort of connection with him being that you are ex USMC as well, it really dosn't give you the right to start asking a complete stranger questions. He may have been giving you all that BS because he didn't want to be bothered by a complete stranger.
I believe he said: “someone STARTED a conversation…” so as I read it, the stranger started the conversation.

Here in Canada, a few years ago, we had a fellow show up in a uniform for the Nov. 11 ceremony at the war memorial in Ottawa. That is broadcast across the country. More than a few noticed all sorts of mistakes in the uniform he wore. He was put before a judge because of his conduct. I cannot remember what happened to him in the end, I believe one of the things was the loss of a job.

I am truly embarrassed when someone thanks me for my military service. I sat on my ass for 22 months at Ft. Huachuca, in the 1950's peace time Army.

No one who served in our military should have to apologize for not being in combat.

Why are you empowering people whom you do not know? Serious query.

May I suggest that you just tell them that someone had to do the job. And smile.
And that chair was very peaceful.

I do not understand what you mean, stating that I was "empowering people whom you do not know".
I went back and read what I wrote... just don't get what you are saying...
I stated that 2 people that were obviously lying talked to me... I did nothing to empower them... just stood in line till I could check out and leave

No need to - I was a 34B2H - fire control computer repair instructor. We can’t all be 11 Bravo and wear the CIB. Everyone has a job to do that’s needed for the military to work.
