I cant stand people who claim to serve that has not served. I myself went through basic but did not graduate basic. You have not served till you have graduated basic. all that I have done and Dan Rather have done is gotten a taste of military life not served. to serve means a lot more then experiencing 13 weeks of basic training... I wish I could make the claim but cant. you will never see me mentioning this any where but in a post like this because not making it through basic training is nothing to be proud of.
At least you tried. A lot of my generation ran to Canada. I still won’t have anything to do with those who ran.
