Are stereotypes part of your normal conversation skills?

I hate it when a former fellow Marine does that.

BTW, I was in the ‘nam too, late 1966 to late 1967. That picture of yours, with the 5 marines on a mountaintop, looks vaguely familiar to me.

Most "stereotypes" don't just happen, they're modeled on some amount of reality - like 'Nam vets. Grow a thicker skin ... I have.
I was on the DMZ: Con Thien, C2, Gio Linh, Cam Lo, etc.
The picture in question is further south at the Rockpile and the one to the left of it is Camp Carroll.
