A vets rant.

Hhhmmm just to strike a nerv for shits and giggles..... how bout that Bowe Bergdahl? What a true American hero right? (EXTREAM SARCASM is being applied before hurt feelings happen.)

 

Lol he doesn’t deserve to park in a non-reserved spot in the back corner of the Walmart parking lot.

 

Casper66, you are with us combat vets my friend. You signed that line which could have cost you everything up to and including your life! I salute you too

 

Ha! I wish someone would tell Hillary that Bergdahl had dirt on her and was going to testify against her and he would come up suicided

 

My Dad did not tell me stories until I got out of the Army, then it was not to often. He was a real good Man. I lost him almost two years ago he was 95.

 

I had 1 unle that was a belly gunner in a B-17 in WWII, 1 uncle in the navy in WWII, a cousin in Viet Nam he made it home but it got him years later, My father was drefted twice for Korea (I think it was Korea we don't talk) Step father Korean war shot in the head but survived we never knew until after he died he had a Purple Heart among other awards or that he'd been injured, another cousin and step brother in the Army and myself. Those are just the ones I know of as I don't have anything to do with my father's side of the family. The best to me though and the coolest to talk to, when he would talk about it, was my wife's Grandfather he was a D-Day vet. One of his parting gifts to me was a hand made Bowie knife that was used on D-Day. I pulled it out of it's sheath once,it laid my finger wide open, it was put back in it's sheath and has never been moved since

 

Just putting this out there for information purposes, some vets choose their service emblem over their awards. I know a bronze star and purple heart recipient who wanted his Marine Corps emblem on his tags instead.

On/Off topic - favorite Purple Heart plate I've seen - DUK2SLO

 

Yea that’s why I posted that. Some people don’t like to share those things, so you never know. I don’t think I’d confront anyone, I’d just assume they’re parked there for the right reasons.

At 63, I had been a very healthy guy until November 10, 2016 when I was hospitalized for 75 days with complications due to cancer. Kind of a perfect storm with Pneumonia, Collapsed of left lung, stage III Lymphoma, 8 CM hole in stomach, and peritonitis. Almost didn't make it out of the hospital. First day in rehab, walked 7 feet with a walker, oxygen and a wheelchair spotter. Got out of the hospital on Jan 23, 2017. Could not step up into the house from the garage when we got home. My outings were to Sam's Club and Wal-mart where they had electric riders. It was like being free. Yes, I did get a disabled tag and so thankful for it. Still recovering, but getting better everyday. Cancer is in remission. Body is getting stronger. God is so good.

 

And by the way .......GO ARMY beat NAVY !

 

Dad would talk to anyone and never met a stranger, He got frustrated because he was trying to eat LOL. He said eat first talk later.

 

Every time I see that POS on TV it makes my blood boil. He should be shot on the White House lawn for treason and it should be televised on prime time. The only reason he was not beheaded is because he was singing like John McCain did when he was captured....Ok I am done.

 

Happy Veterans Day my fellow Disfunctional Veterans. Hope everyone has a good day.

 

Saw the thumb nail on the front page, was like that kinda looks like a dick, wtf is it?

Oh, it IS a dick...

 

That dude might want to check in at the nearest aid station since he has a giant green dick on his back.
