Seriously man, to sit behind a computer and call these guys cowards is ludicrous.

Quick story... I have a lot of vets come to my bar. A while back I had a kid that had just come back from his 2nd tour in Afghanistan. He had two older guys sitting next to him and we all got to talking. One of the old guys asked him "how was it for you over there?". His response was a very quick lesson on what not to ask a vet. He replied "man, I mean no offense by this, but that is the worst question you can ask. I had two of my best buddies killed right in front of me this last tour... I mean, how am I supposed to answer that? It fucking sucked."

Until you've been in one of these guys shoes I don't think you are really even qualified to judge their level of bravery.
So after reading your story. How about I tell you a story of a friend who was in a car wreck with someone who died. Someone aked them about it. They started relaying the story. Does that make them brave because shit happened to them? It is common sense people don't want to talk about such things. Your story goes nowhere. No one is arguing about how ugly war is. I think I might have a better idea than you guys and thats why I'm so against putting military up on a pedestal. Someone has to actually DO something selflessly to become a hero. Until then, they're not a hero in my eyes. They were someone doing their job. Yet you guys want to talk about how great the miltiary guys are, protecting our freedom, so the next generation of poor stupid kids can sign up to continue all this shit. Fuck that and fuck evil by stupidity.

Again, Sonatine will not attack my ideas directly because he lacks the capacity. He just sits on the sideline making little comments trying to influence people. Pathetic.
