I have never had the need to open a can of food while in the car or away
from home. I open my cans with an electric can opener. John may want to
look into these new contraptions so he does not have to carry his old P-38
with him.


You really don't understand JimH.

Which is understandable.

Perhaps he's never gone camping or taken a can on his boat. Or, maybe he
takes a generator camping and on his boat.

You're right.

Whatever.


BTW: I did not serve in the military.......but if I did I would not carry a
reminder of it some 40 years later of service in a very unpopular war,
regardless of my opinion of the war.

How do you know?

Like I said, you really don't understand. But, it's understandable.
It also has absolutely nothing to do with how popular a war is.

I don't know for sure. But I do know that I do not carry with me
reminders of my past life, no matter how sad or happy those years may have
been.


Let me add..............

I have shown support and respect for those having served/currently serving
our Country in our armed forces. My comments were in no way meant to
disrespect anyone's service.

I understand your point of view and I hope you understand mine.



JimH,
You have no f*cking clue.

We did Thanksgiving last year in a place in Las Vegas. The kitchenette at
Hilton Grand Vacation Villas had everything but a can opener. Odd.
Realized that one of the blades on my Swiss Army Knife is basically a P-38.
Worked well. As to keeping some of the old stuff, Those who served spent a
lot of time and energy in the service. I did not go to Viet Nam as some
here did, I got a cushy job with airlift wing, fixing radars in a nice air
conditioned shop at Travis AFB. But I still use the necklace and whistle we
had to wear if on the flight line. I now use it to hold my fishing license
holder. Here in Nannystate, you have to visibly wear your license.

I don't know what Jimh's problem is. He's bitter about something, and it's
showing.

Eisboch is right. You don't understand. You can't be faulted for not having
had the experiences since the draft was probably disbanded by the time you
became eligible. Nothing you or Kanter say can diminish the pride and
memories, good or bad, that servicemen and women have. Just remember who
paid for *Your* freedom, and try to be just a we bit appreciative .

I guess he feels the same way about his religion. Can you imagine him a
while back allowing Harry to trash Jesus and Christianity without comment
from JimH? I think that's called 'losing the courage of one's convictions'.
