I guess if your in your own small fire slugfest it seems like the most intense one in the world to yourself. My son was in the 505 in Iraq in ‘03 and he was ambushed during a night time operation. He called me the next day on a satellite phone and I could tell that he was in an intense firefight. A couple of years later he told me the details and other stories that if I had known about them at the time I would have been doubly worried. Being a parent of a kid in combat in WW II,Vietnam,Korea takes its own courage. Especially during Vietnam and Iraq because of the comments you’d get from idiots that were anti-war. Even in your own family. You really have to maintain control when someone makes a snide remark when your son is in combat.
The response of our own people during Vietnam was horrible and that's what happens when we let the Left drive the narrative.
My own personal worst was during a night patrol when we had set up in an apparently abandoned village and one of the enemy walked in the door of the house I was in and it was a five foot firefight. The rest of his platoon opened up at very close range and we had a brutal, close-in fight in the dark.
You really have to maintain control when someone makes a snide remark when your son is in combat.I disagree. If you, coming from the right side of an issue, would rightfully lose control once they'd likely never make snide remarks in your presence again...They really don't care about you anyway or they wouldn't make snide remarks in your presence.
