Olds son revisited

Posted by IOWA NORTHEAST on April 11, 2010 at 17:22:52 from (206.72.18.89):

On a preveous post Old made coment of his sons, expert shooting in the military.

Dave 2 made a coment as to my thinking my son should not ever go in to the military. I tried to respond before, but have issues with not being registered, so I changed my handle yet again.

Dave 2, your insults do not bother me, you haven"t a clue where I"m coming from, I forgive you and any one else that wants to take a crack at me.

I watched allot of combat movies before I went over the pond, I"m sure there are others reading this post also that understand. For those that understand, my hats off to them for there military efforts, or the sacrafices your children, or loved one gave. the ones that never came home alive or unharmed.

What is ahead for my son is no doubt less than what is promised by the recruiting officers. My son is backwoods, and could never get to the silver spoon squad, so he would probably get his rifle right a way. I personally don"t care if he has to work his whole life doing dirty jobs. As long as he is in one unit, healthy, and mostly alive.

Before you tear me a new one, I forgive you for what you are going to post to me before you begin. If you don"t understand, I hope and pray you never do.

By the way I did enlist, good thing because I would have been drafted first. My birthday is Sept 14th the very first lottery number in the draft.

And as a foot note, if it is such a great opportunity, I"m confused why I do not know of a single soul in my outfit that reenlisted? I do know some guys that did, but they were in the rear, and don"t understand either. For them, it was indeed a great opertunity, with a early retirment, good health care etc. Heck, some of them have war stories that would make John Wayne look like a fool. The stories go on and on, but I personaly roll my eyes when I listen, or jut leave the room.

Three of our unit got together twenty years ago, and never was their a word mentioned of the past. After we met that time we all agreed to never meet again, (other than by phone) because it caused us all to have to deal with unplesant things in our sleep.

I was spit on at a airport while escorting a buddies remains home. yet I to this day respect her opinion, it was different than mine at the time.

I opolagize to you Dave 2 if this comes across as rude, that is not my intent, I just would like you to try to understand a different point of view from a very loving dad, that raised his son pretty much by himself.

I"m not sure if I will read your return post or not, as it will probably not be bemificial to anyone.
