Rye, my post wasn't directed at you. however, YOU served how? back lines IT guy? Just a guess since you are not very descriptive. I do support your service to our country. /Salute
Already did my time, and included defending the UK as well. With several deployments to hotspots in my career.
I am not the world police force, are you? Have already fought in many countries while you as a Marine stayed in the US or Japan. Have you been in combat Marine?
Those who boast about their military service are usually the ones most full of sh*t and have the least experience with anything involving any real danger. I worked both as a soldier in Iraq (ATFP) and as a Navy contractor in Afghanistan (EWO).
This is so vague . I can only assume you sat in a sauna multiple times after a Winged Glider simulation class, and beat up at least one German Midget in a bar fight over a half eaten hot dog!
That's exactly the kind of reply I would expect from a rear-guard member of the Air Farce - from 200 miles behind the lines with a billiards cue up his butt, looking for his nanny to bring his milk and change his diaper! FYI, to name a few - Northern Ireland 1979-80, Falklands 82, 1st Gulf war 1991, Bosnia 1992+, Sierra Leone 2000
