TSA: "Ma'am, is this powder yours? JUST KIDDING HAHAHAHA."

My dad's a disabled vet from 'Nam (PTSD, Agent Orange exposure). Regardless of how I feel about your political stance, I respect the fact that you spent time serving this country. It is not an easy or a simple thing to do.

My dad is vet as well CH, but he flew B-52s during the Linebacker campaigns.

I know all about PTSD...

I'm a military history buff, so I know a fair amount about the Vietnam War. Was your dad infantry CH? You remember where it was he served in-country?

Even though I served in Iraq, I still can't even imagine what it was like in Nam. My Uncle was a recon marine who did some burly things, and he struggles to cope with his time there mightily. Him being in I corps in 69' was as hardcore as it gets, facing nothing but NVA regulars. There's stuff he did while there that he still can't talk about, not because he doesn't want to, but because it's still classified. Recon Marines are roughly the equivalent of Green Berets and SEALs.

Hope you dad is doing well, and I'm glad this country learned a lesson from treating those guys like upon their return home

+1. I couldn't imagine being apart of something where you come back and are the bad guys.

Damn, I bet you have lot's of interesting stories that you'll never be able to tell. MI guys get a lot of , but in Iraq that was probably an interesting job, thankless, and hard. Moreso since you were an officer. I was E-4 while I was there.

(From my personal collection) I'm the worlds worst photographer, and liked taking pictures of blown up tanks.

Got stuck with the 249 in the photo here. in' SAW is a piece of . We were lucky in that we had M-60s as well. Heavier, but better in every other respect.

I was there in 03/04 when there were still supply issues. This pick was me on top of a turtle-back humvee. (our whole battery had only 2 up-armored Humvees)

I drove nothing but soft-back and turtle-backs the whole goddamn time(our tracks stayed at the FOB). I still can't believe I'm alive, TBH. Every firefight I was in was either on a raid or while I was on the MK-19 on top of the 1st Sgts up-armored humvee. When I didn't drive for the pussy LT, I was the 1st Sgts gunner. I much preferred being up top than driving.

I was a e-3 there. Damn, soft-back?? no!! Thats crazy. We don't use m-60's at all anymore. We have the 240 or the 249. BTW thanks for your service
