You remind me of those "garratroopers" in Viet Nam that ran around in the rear wearing spit shined jungle boots and bandoleers of polished brass ammo. Never heard a shot fired in anger but are the biggest hero's you can find in a bar.

If you had pulled that crap on me you would have had to shoot that little pop gun, (Nine mil sucks) or eat it.

Ace, I never went to 'Nam, but I served this nation in some of the worst sewers imaginable in Central America and the Middle East.

The only reason I had my 9 was that my .357 was in the safe and my .40 was in my other pants.

You remind me of those "garratroopers" in Viet Nam …

I ran into a high school classmate at Tan Son Nhut airport in Saigon in 1967. He was wearing tiger stripes, boonie hat, M-16, 45 in a shoulder rig and a .38 on his hip. He had at least a hundred rounds on him. I asked what his job was – turned out he was a US Air Force mail clerk and never left the airbase.

They are still wearing their "Kill 'em all, Let God sort 'em out" jackets.

Those who know, don't say. Those who say, don't know.
