Rus: I’m an ex-Ranger. Of course ego plays a part in that, right or wrong.
The larger point I was making is in having respect for those who served. And here I am not speaking for myself, but for someone like Ex-SD. This guy did two tours in Vietnam. Most of my senior NCOs were Vietnam vets and the human cost of that war was awful. For someone like justme to snottily demean his time there is abhorrent. I cannot imagine how many of his friends went into body bags, but after two years in-country I would imagine it was a lot.
You seem reasonable and well-intentioned. I’m guessing USAF or Navy, right?
