You surprise me by posting this great story and then jump right in it by insulting every veteran who's proud of serving and wears a hat or VFW hat or whatever. I grew up with the great vets of WWII and Korea and, no, none of them wanted to talk about the horrors of combat, but they were all proud to have served. Sometimes, dirt, you've just gotta put a sock in it.
Well, all I can say, is that I am not insulted by what Dirtpusher stated... I took it as the gentleman did not need the memories of war or notoriety, being that he just wanted to go on with life.
Just my opinion, you can have yours.
