    Bit too young but closer than I liked

    My post was in the spirit of the others

    Just messing around

    My daddy graduated UW in June 1968. Shitty timing to be a PolySci major, frat bro without job prospects.

    Getting sent to ‘Nam with no flak jackets due to crappy diplomacy kinda sucked.

    Baghdad in the summer, with a helmet, pack, flak, and 40lbs of SAPI plates sucked ass.
    Afghanistan in the winter, with the same set up, was ok.
    Yup. Baghdad is without a doubt a shithole. But 50k Americans KIA vs 4K is astounding. One KIA is a massive loss, a loss of a potential meaningful contributor to society to the world. 50k ambushed, booby-trapped, fighting in the jungle, venereal disease... man mind-boggling

    Believe me I’m not complaining about Iraq vs Vietnam. Vietnam was a meat grinder and I’m glad I wasn’t old enough to go there. That said, you had hookers and booze, so... tie?
    Post moore.
