jitagawn Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Bizarro ...did I miss something?? Crazy... I got drafted and then almost went before NIxon ended the draft- SO WHAT?? . I had quite a few friends come home in boxes but my few weeks of nervousness is nothing and does not relate in any way to those that actually went and fought. Zero zip nada this s a joke?? Is this satire?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 You'd be surprised how many they take in. I saw a Marine and a Navy guy ranting over this one on Facebook: SMA Dailey Authorizes Festive Holiday Uniform Modifications http://www.duffelblo...liday-uniforms/ https://en.wikipedia...iki/Duffel_Blog The Duffel Blog is an American military news satire organization featuring satirical articles reporting on US military news. It is often described as "the military version of The Onion." It was founded in March 2012 by Marine veteran Paul Szoldra, originally as a way to drive web traffic to his website CollegeVeteran.com. It eventually branched out and became its own entertainment website. The site enjoys a large following among civilians, veterans, and servicemen alike. The blog has more than 150,000 fans on Facebook and about 10,000 Twitter followers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Penis is hungry Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Seriously? The many "board" members I've met who claim to be anything from CIA, Secret Service, Un-named Secret Service, etc etc etc it's amazing! There are a LOT of "tin" soldiers out there, guys who've been nothing more than a contractor driving trucks or pushing paper or just masturbating. Many paper hero's, not so many real ones. Flash being one of the few here I believe as being real, and Old Hippie, who's no longer here, can't think of others that seem any more real than Hillary or Ben A tad light on reality - Hillary. Yes, they would have grabbed her is a split second. Just another story. She and Ben at times do live in a fantasy land. Dr. Ben got a "scholarship" to West Point. But turned it down. Why make up such sh*t. Something about the military that some fantasize about looking back when they avoided the military at all costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 To my knowledge, there are a few U.S. vets here. Only a handful though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pom Michael Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I would say many more than a handful. Unless you mean only those who fought in Korea/Vietnam as "U.S. Vets". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I just know of 3 or 4 Army vets and 1 Marine. The Navy and USAF guys must be keeping quiet. BTW have a good one folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unit731 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Thank you. The Canadians do it a tad better as far as the date goes. Thanksgiving Day in Canada - Time and Date Time and Date Loading...Thanksgiving Day in Canada has been a holiday on the second Monday of ... Mon, Oct 12, 2015, Thanksgiving Day, National holiday, All except NB, NL, NS, PE. "Thanksgiving in Canada is celebrated on the second Monday of October each year and it's an official statutory holiday - except in PEI, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia - however federally regulated institutions do observe Thanksgiving in those provinces too.

passingthru69 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 You would be surprised how many ex navy seals / ex special forces guys are driving trucks here in the States.. 555 Sit inside of a truckstop and you hear these loud mouths.. I have only met 2 true former special forces guys in my life. Weird thing is I worked both of them almost 8 years before I ever found out. Something that neither one of them talked about much, which I understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect you've worked for "real" people, I seem to meet a lot of tin soldiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Even at the Bangkok VFW post, combat vets are in the minority. That's the way it is in the military, figure about 4 or 5 in support for each one in combat. That's what it takes. p.s. Nobody pulls any "make believe" crap at the VFW, strangely enough, If anything, folks keep quiet. I knew one guy a couple of years before I found out he'd been an Army Ranger in Vietnam. I knew another one about six months before learning he was a retired Special Forces colonel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
