I had half a case of Sam, 3/4 case of Bud and the Pabst was gone.

I am drinking PBR these days. I have trouble finding regular Coors in
a bottle, my other choice.
I used to always drink Bud but I just lost the taste for it and I
don't like the heavy beers.
I drink Busch if I can't find PBR or Coors.

I drink lots of water, and have been doing so for 22 years. Water's
not bad, but it's not a hot conversation topic. It doesn't get much of
a head, and is usually pretty clear.

You must have had some of that crap they had from the Phillipines in
SEA.

San Miguel I think it was called? Had to strain it before you drank
it to get the crunchy bits out? :)

Well, yes. Actually I'd drink about anything that had an alcohol
content. Luckily, I had an Engineer company with dump trucks and a
First Sergeant who was a wheeler-dealer, and a Post Exchange at Cu Chi
that was always needing laterite for its swampy parking lot. So we
always had free beer and enough steaks for a Friday cookout.

Times were good.

Don, most of us don't get a big charge out of discussing the bad times
we had.

And all of us have some good, or at least humorous, stories about the
war - even the 'real soldiers' to whom you refer.

And I'll be the first to admit that a lot of folks, including my
brother and some right here, had it a hell of a lot worse than I did.
Luckily, I was a Combat Engineer, not an Infantryman.

Have you given some thought to the cessation of personal insults and
name-calling?

His partner won't let him. That would break up the act.

Obviously, you've never heard of James Jones, who talked quite a bit
about war in From Here to Eternity and The Thin Red Line. Jones was a
real soldier.

You really are a short little ignorant ****.

How does that make you feel Donny. Your friends and neighbors went to
war for you and some didn't come back.
