I don't know who said this quote but wars are for young men to fight for old men's glory...
My Uncle who was a marine was drafted to 'Nam. Did 2 tours. I forgot where he was allegedly stationed. I know his battlegroup won all their battles over some kind of bridge. But he doesn't like to discuss it much--even now.
Friends of his who were buddies went into law enforcement like he did. They are taking "psycho pension" now...
That's what worries me the most about our current troops... They are doing their duty and serving this country. It won't be just men, but women too that have PTSD...
All I got to say, is the personnel deserves everything...
