I volunteered Army, volunteered Infantry, volunteered Airborne and never saw combat. I at not point slandered you, or those who have seen combat. If you can't see the agenda driving this article then I can't help you.
I don’t doubt that there is some sort of agenda - there alway is - but I’m certainly not against people enjoying their fireworks.
I’m just telling you that all of the combat vets I have known, including WW II vets, hated the damn things. You can’t go through what we experienced and not be affected.
