All the posts so far are from ignorant jerks, or just plain clueless idiots. I'm a Vietnam vet May 67 thru May 68. I saw a lot of people wounded, but spent most of my tour in 25th Inf Div HQ in G-3.
Even without much direct combat experience, I still have occasional reminders from then; similar to PTSD.
I don't care how many video games you've played; if you haven't been in actual combat, you just don't get it.
Being a phony Rambo who was a phony anyway played by a coward porno actor who went to Canada to hide out just don't cut it; aka that puke Stallone.
So step up and volunteer for the army as a frontline infantryman, or shut the F**k up.
