What's your point Bob? This guy joined and is apparently a 58-yr old Vietnam Marine veteran. Are you suggesting there are no Vietnam veterans who are in their late fifties?
It might be possible he was referring to the fact that he was a Vietnam era veteran? I don't know.
But once more time, those who joined in the late 1960s, 1970 and 1971 had no freaking guarantee they wouldn't be sent to war.
If there was such a guarantee Bob, please produce it.
You seem to be holding something against veterans who were not sent off to war, whether they wanted to or not. They have no choice.
Once again Bob, most have no choice when your in. If ya join and war breaks out while you're in, you're likely going to war. If there is a war going on before ya join, there is always a chance you'll be sent to war..If there is no war there could be one at any freaking time, and you'll likely go to war while your in or after ya join.
No one knows what's going to happen, is my point Bob...
I'll never knock anyone who served since there are many, many more who never served a freaking single day of their lives.
