jaybyrd 3,770 Posted November 10, 2013 Without our soldiers this country wouldn't be what it is. Politics aside w/o our troops we wouldn't have the rights that allow us to complain about the gov't all the time and they do their thankless job with pride.

mabscotthandyman 1,410 Posted November 11, 2013 Oh wow MabScott that is where i grew up. My father retired from there.. He is a smart kid he wanted to go to college but lacked funds so i suggested he check on the service option and go to school on uncle sams nickel. He found that he could take mechanics while in service and that was something he wanted also so it is a win win situation. He is a great kid i belive he takes after his pop paw LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nam was probably the worst war ( conflict ) since the civil war for americans casualties. The major part of the war was fought in trenches, swamps and jungles plus the tunnels.
