Absolutely! From Normandy, Holland, Bastogne, Germany, Vietnam, Iraq x 2, Afgahnistan, they have been there and done that!
I still love my 82d Abn, but the 101st is amongst the finest Fighting Units of all!

Yes. The 82nd was the All American (AA) ( Or as a friend of mine in the 101st says "almost airborne" LOL)
Hey don't look at me... I never jumped out of a perfectly good submarine.

Huh. My brother spent four years on a fast attack (USS Houston), and for my money, submariners are as nuts as the guys jumping out of perfectly good airplanes!  |

Don't know who would be crazier....Jumping out of perfectly good airplanes or playing in a bubble. 
Guess I should not say anything. When I was trying to enlist I went through the whole gammit. But unfortunately only having one eye I could not get into any branch of service. I would of even shoveled shite if that would have worked.  |

I salute that young man for the courage to go on national TV and tell the truth. I also hold him in high regard for having the intestinal fortitude to not let that freak Coombs get to him.
I am in awe of our wonderful military folks. May God bless and keep them safe from harm.

I missed it. I wish I would have gotten to see it.
I'm am very proud of our military and they represent us so well. So many have emailed and spoken up to defend their honor and ours as a nation. God bless them. |
