[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2154461, member: 1242"] I heard a group of young men talking last time I was at the range. They were obviously veterans of our more recent encounters and were echoing much the same sentiment. An older gentlemen who was with them said, and I quote "We aren't there for them. We are there for us." I had to step off the range for a bit. Got something in my eye. Thank you, Dennis. I was pretty still pretty young in 1973 but in my 20s I was prone to date gentlemen a little older than myself. Several of them were VN vets. Every single one of them carried the scars of what they had seen, what they had been asked to do and what they had had done to them and their buddies. Being the kid I was I didn't know how to help any of them but I look back now and consider myself lucky to have counted every single one of those guys a friend at one time or another. They all taught me something and collectively, over time, made me the woman I am today, for they made me realize just how lucky I've been in my life. Even those of us who've had a rough time of it at times have had it good compared to others. [/QUOTE]
