Yep. "What a nonsense". Thank you for your service. I expect more respect from those who served to those who served. Bye, bye.

But as usual, you can't critizise the behaviour of someone who is in the armed forces or else you are unpatriotic, ungrateful, disrespecting or whatnot. What a nonsense.
Just so I'm on record about this. Your husband is awesome too, for what it's worth coming from a mere school teacher.I said LIKE you, not that IS you..our wars..well, Sir you are toting the AMERICAN flag right below your name right on the left hand side<====default or NO..it is AMERICAN.
I feel for your friend. Just like I feel for any person that has given all that he or she has for something they believe in..in this case, our freedoms.
BUT, your friend is NOT my husband, who does NOT like to talk about his service, usually. He commented on this thread to clarify a situation, you decided to take a sour note on the proceedings and claim that he is un-modest, THAT is what I have a problem with. IF he chooses to talk about his experiences and share information with these gentlemen, WHO are you to insist that he be modest?? IF you don't like it, OH F*cking WELL! Theres probably another thread that you can rain upon...Call him out on being an as*hole or whatever..BUT modesty because he made the grade and served with one of the finest fighting forces on this planet??? I don't think so.. Check yourself.
Nonsense??? Not so much..BAD FORM, yes..
JUST as much as it would be for you to walk into ANYONES conversation and state how the parties IN that conversation should conduct themselves. Does this serve as manners or proper modest etiquette in where ever you hail from...?? Probably not..you were baiting the conversation for a rebuttal..plain and simple.

LOL, less than when I worked as a prison guard, but not by much.Clay, I hold teachers in a heroic regard, too. You are doing an amazing service for our country and our children, our greatest asset. IMHO. AND H*ll, nowadays you have to see a bit of combat yourselves.
My Dad's best friend was a Marine Recon in Vietnam, and he was pretty.....different when he came back. My dad always said he wasn't always all the way back.Les, what is your opinion of Delta Force and US Marine Recon?
Apparently...On the subject of the FFL, I read somewhere, perhaps in a Bernard Fall book that the FFL in Indo China had some former SS troops. Anyone confirm that? ...
I have read the same thing. Not surprising though; the SS were trained well and very disiplined. I know the U.S. Special Forces had a former SS man in the Green Berets. There were also some in Africa fighting for the PMC's in Rhodesia and Sierra Leone.Some really interesting stuff here. Many thanks. On the subject of the FFL, I read somewhere, perhaps in a Bernard Fall book that the FFL in Indo China had some former SS troops. Anyone confirm that? Had an uncle who was a CGM on USS Chicago, a CA, when WW2 began. He was in the Savo Island mess but was transferred off Chicago, made a warrant officer, and sent to China to serve with Chinese guerillas, I think Reds. He was a big man, tall and over 200 pounds. Came back after the war at about 160 pounds. He was close mouthed about what he did in China and is gone now. Anyone have any info that relates to that?
