That is superb - and let me be up front honest - it brought a (big) lump to my throat!!!I may start buying it.
+1 on the lump, and I will raise you a pridefull tear... I have not had a drink of any kind in almost a decade, but I would gladly buy an A/B product for a buddy after seeing that one.P95Carry said:That is superb - and let me be up front honest - it brought a (big) lump to my throat!!!

Me too. I can't for the life of me fathom it happening, either. Honestly some of the things the Democrats have been saying makes me think that if they had anything to say about it our returning troops would get the same thing the Vietnam vets did....rstickle said:It has been around for awhile.
I hate to say it, but my first thought when I saw it was how different from what us older folks saw during the Vietnam era. Back then if you wore your uniform in public you were likely to get spit on.
I'm sure glad things have changed!
Just wait. I saw a news piece about a former Marine who wrote a book titled KILL, KILL, KILL. He was blasting the Corps with what, if true, woudl be war crimes.Kompact9 said:....... There doesn't seem to be as many "Hanoi Jane's" around now as there were then...maybe that's the difference.
Rest assured, there are people in this country who would love to spit in their eye today too. They usually limit their actions to making the public statement, "I support the troops but not the war." While this is not 100%, it is a good indicator. (Hell, I don't support the war, but my alternative is to horrible to contemplate; it hasn't been used since WWII and then it was only used twice)rstickle said:It has been around for awhile.

Yea, it was a real sad period in our history. I was in from '64 till '85, for a long time my neighbors didn't know what I did when I lived off Post. Really sad. :frown:raevan said:amen to that. first hing I did when I got out was go to the restroom remove my uniform, put on civies and dumped thew uniform in the trash. then got on the plane for home and kept my mouth shut.
