What he said.
I have several friends who served in fallujah with the Marines. None talk about it openly. One evening after we were all good and liquored up we got back to the house and they all started talking about it, I just sat there an shut my mouth and listened. I think they forgot I was there. They were college roommates on the GI bill getting their education.
Hey, Man! IF you write that book, please don't illustrate it. I get the willies every time I see that avatar photo with the dude in jail. Almost as bad as the toes. Maybe the other sailors can get you to appreciate "true beauty?"
Oh, and if you don't "kill" those dust bunnies, they might kill you.
Good luck to you and prayers are with you. Thanks again for serving.

As a vet, I've met more SEALs, Rangers, Green Berets, and numerous other special forces types 'after' I got out than when I was in. Of course all but about two of them were complete BS. Very easy to spot a BSer.
While on active duty, we actually had a guy in our squadron who told us he was a chopper pilot for the CIA in Vietnam. He would have been about 16 yrs old during Vietnam. We called him out on it, and it didn't phase him a bit. He just kept to his story. LOL
What a sad way to go through life pretending to be something else.
My 19 year old grandson is in a training program where a kid younger than he is claimed to be a Marine scout-sniper with 45 confirmed kills in Iraq. Well, my son-in-law is an combat vet, and I just spent 20+ years in the Army, so my grandson called him on it. Kid was some embarrassed.
