[QUOTE="Cohiba, post: 3034165, member: 2550"] Almost every time I walk out of the liquor store with a six pack of Schlitz, I always have an older guy say, "I drank that in Viet Nam". Had a few relatives serve in Viet Nam....one lost an eye from shrapnel on a mine. Had a good buddy in high school who's dad would talk about flying helicopters in Nam.....he had to have a few beers in him before he would speak of his experiences over there....also a cigarette with his beer. One time we were on the back porch, his son, a few other guys and myself. Yes he had a few beers in him and pulled out his Viet Nam Zippo to light his cigarette. [I]Just.....just....to see and hear his response I asked him this question. [/I]I knew what he was going to say but I wanted to hear him say it in his military (retired colonel) voice. Did you ever kill any women and children in Viet Nam? His answer: [B]I killed anything and everything that pointed at gun at me[/B].........men, women, children, cows, dogs, monkeys, birds...whatever. I wanted to get back to Oklahoma to my wife and children, to do that I had to make THEM die before they killed me. [/QUOTE]
