Thanks G. After the 16th I'll be able to explore the VC site as much as I desire ... regards "Squaddies" of any Army ... aren't soldiers THE Army? PERIOD. They're the ones who do the actions that count. It's easy to create a plan and give orders. It's not easy to be a soldier/squaddie ... they are special breeds pulling off special deeds. It all has value, but laying yourself on the line has even more.

I still don't GET how so many soldiers can be treated like crap by their higher ups, before, during and after a war/service, who should KNOW better, the higher value... I'd salute a soldier before I'd salute a BIG CHEESE, unless the big cheese got into the muck too! Ah well ... what do I know?

I ain't as Left-Coast as some would like to tease

Thanks G.
