I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Yeah, well we don't jump out of perfectly good airplanes. Think you can drown before you crash and burn?

Despite the inter-Service ribbing (hopefully given and received good naturedly), I totally respect any that have served regardless of what job they did while serving. From the cook that gets up at oh-dark-thirty and does his best to feed the troops to the baddest, bad ass infantryman that charges the enemy with an M60 in one hand, a shotgun in the other and a bayonet between his teeth, we all had a job to do and, by god, we did it to the best of our ability.
I fully realize that there were a few who didn't quite fit that description but I can tell you for certain that the vast majority of service members did and still do. I also realize that folks see that image of the Rambo du jour and think that is what all of us did (for good or ill) but I can also tell you that the cook who rolls out of bed at 2 a.m. every morning to fire up the coffee pot and start cooking for who knows how many guys is every bit the hero as that Rambo guy.
Finally, when you civilians see a bunch of old vets sitting around swilling coffee and smoking (even while they cough their lung out) just shut up and listen. In every one of those "no shit, there I was stories" is an element of truth and a lesson in duty, honor and country. Don't try to fit in by telling them how tough it was working a 4 hour shift at McDonalds or how bad ass you are because you were a hall monitor at your high school. Above all, don't ever believe you can throw your own insult at any one of them; I can assure you that they will ALL jump up, beat your parakeet ass and then go back to smoking and joking without a second thought.

LOL...nevertheless, that cook rolled out of the sack at least tried and that's far more than most of the candy ass kids these days even think about doing. There are also some darn good cooks in the Army. I'm thinking they probably feed you jarheads tree bark and call it meatloaf.
