[QUOTE="lasher, post: 2936597, member: 40522"] they do now, but they told me and a friend they didn't want us around because they'd won their war and we had lost ours. this is right after we had been released from active duty. not now. now they welcome us,,,well because those in charge are us. that was my experience, your mileage may vary. one of my drill instuctors lived about 2 miles from me here in edmond, we went out to sgt grits and stopped for lunch. as i was getting out of his car he told me "i don't remember you being so big, i shouldn't have thumped you." i told him he had never thumped me but another drill instructor had, and i fully understood then it was part of the learning process. he told me how proud his class of drill instructors had been of us, and i thanked him for teaching me the things that helped many of us survive. he later gave me a book written by the author of "we were soldiers" joe what's his name. joe what's his name autographed it to me with a "Semper Fi". i think all 4 of our drill instructors are likely gone now, Staff Sergeant Washington, Sergeant Morgan (he thumped me LOL), Sergeant Villeneuva, and Sergeant Shell- who gave me the book.
