Veterans

[Anmar]

Thank you all for your service.

A big AMEN to that! Thank you! 

[Warph]

That is a BIG insult to me coming from a whiny crybaby who hasn't the guts to serve his country.  You're pathetic!

[Diane Amberg]

Was that really necessary? Warph, I'm surprised and disappointed.

[pamsback]

Yeah, What she said....

[Anmar]

Its interesting to me when someone makes a statement like that.  I wonder if they realize that its really just a reflection of their own character.  Warph, i didn't think you were a vet, what war did you fight in?

Just so I'm clear.... Someone who has been deployed to a war is a veteran.  Ok, I'll let all those folks who served in Korea and Viet Nam let them know that they didn't server in a declared war, so they aren't veterans.  I'll also mention it to the 10s of thousands of former servicemen and women who wore the uniforms of the United States military but weren't 'fortunate' enough to have been sent to war.

As to Warph's original response to Anmar....  Untill one has served, one simply can't wrap their head around what he meant and why he might have said it.  Just my not so humble opinion.

From one vet to another, Warph... I thank you.

Patriot, you totally misread my post, but ok.

My grandfather fought in korea, so i was just curious where warph served.

I thought this thread started out as a chance for any and all of us to thank our vets and once again there is bickering? Please, does it have to always have to descend to this? Surely, it wasn't just for vets to thank other vets. I may have to send a few of you to your rooms!

A "Gunfighters" salute to you from a former vet of the 366th TAC Wing.  I thank you too for your service, Patriot.  Everyday is a Veterans Day to the men that served this great country.
