I know what you mean. Us Nam vets saw it first hand.
My Dad was an Army O-6... WW II.
We were sent to Cam Rahn Bay to take care of some rocket fire into the Navy Communications facility there. We took care of the problem and had a few free days. The Navy treated us like kings...got us drunk and fed us very well. Lol
So you’re the ones that got our rum rations. Oh, wait. That’s the brits that get that. Thanks for your service.
