[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2587421, member: 101791"] I saw a lot of stupid things in the Army. It only took me 22 months and 3 weeks to get the hell out of there. I watched 7 men that were captains in the 3 different troops in the 7 months I was with my platoon. I have somewhere between 35 an 40 fire fights under my belt during that time. Spent the balance of my time doing special Op's, and flighting dust off. Had I know my unit was one of the unit that when into Cambia in 1970, I would have stayed. The light col I would have follow him anywhere. There was one Captain I would have done the same for. It took me awhile to figure out the Col, but after 4 month in the field and one day we were taken over by a 1 star general. That General got our asses kicked. June 19, 1969. That day I learn a lot about do's and don'ts and leaders. A lot of them couldn't hit their A** with both hands. I could go on and on, but most would go over people heads, and this is not the place for it either. PTSD rules the day. The men that fought in the 90 thru 2021 my hat off all of them. They didn't have to go, but they did, and they got screwed too being put back into the fight year after year. My was 12 months was like most in Vietnam. The first Bush and Trump were the only two that did anything right. The rest were Pis*ing in the wind, and wonder why it was blowing back into their faces. If there a will, there a way! One of my sons is a DDS, and specialized with additional 3 yrs. The other has his MBA is moving forward. So education is great if you can apply it, otherwise it's a waste of money, and you don't need it. Just the will and hard work. At lease these men aren't being spit at. Sorry, sometime the PTSD get the best of me. [/QUOTE]
