Ground pounders vs REMFs...

That’s where the distinction is clearly set.

LOL!

I served on a nuke sub during the vietnam war, does that make me a vietnam vet?


I served on a pig boat during that time. Does that make me a pig ?

“The issue was the Stolen Valor Act (which I disagree with, believe it or not) ... “

What exactly do you not agree with? Do you believe that people who never were in the military and who go around purporting themselves to be Medal of Honor or Silver Star recipients are just “exercising their rights of free speech”? I don’t.

You got it, brother.

I saw Navy people who lived better in VN than us Grunts lived back in the States.

REMFs is REMFs.

Thank you for your service.
I have a family member missing in action in Korea. He was post humously awarded the DSC for his actions on Hill 851, Sept of 1951.

I concur, having served from 1970 to 1992 I consider myself an era veteran.

I was in a hospital. I’ve seen nearly every MOS in the military shot, burned, and blown apart. Even the so called REMFs.
