I know how touchy a topic my military experience is to me and how I feel about my military service in Iraq. With that in mind, I don't feel comfortable making the same assessment on any other war and their respective veterans' service. I know that I fought and gave everything I had for nothing in Iraq, but I have a hard time hearing that from someone else. That is why I only referred to "my war".

Again, I sincerely did not mean to offend you or anyone else. Although I've never met anyone on this forum in real life and I wouldn't even say that I "know" anyone personally on this forum, you and a handful of mostly Vietnam veterans are guys that I look up to in a lot of ways.

I was just pointing out that most military veterans over the last 20 years have had 'their' war. unhappycamper Dec 2013 #4
