I don’t know much about today but when I served most everybody in uniform were not fighting. When we had a half million troops in Viet Nam, my war, less than fifty thousand were carring a ruck and rifle in the bush. In my three tours only part of one involved the bush. Most of us drove trucks or turned wrenches. We might as well have been poorly paid, oddly dressed civilians, but we are all veterans.
