69-70? You work in the laundry or the PX, tough guy?

Who forced you to join the service?

Nothing worse than a whiney soldier.

Don't really have anything to add. I just get slightly tense when I
read crap like "You work in the laundry or the PX, tough guy?"
Lots of combat vets of all political bents on this and other groups

because you've seen combat.

Rant-mode off!

I sincerely apologize to the other vets who read my previous message, it was
definitely NOT meant as a blanket insult. Vets from any era have my undying
respect, no matter what political leanings or how they contributed during
their service.
Thanks for pointing out my misstep; I flew off the handle with the "whiney"
remark. My family and I, as other service men and women who came back
disabled and their families, have a lot of baggage to carry.

No sweat MMC. After a few years the baggage becomes normal and you
get used to being a crip. I did. )
Don't sweat the small stuff and keep on trucking.

Thanks Mark and Wally. I'm usually pretty good about being a crip, but there
are times it really gets to me.
