Forgot the obvious, and I guess it´s because I was in the military-infantry, good reminder for the troops. I guess I´ll have to explain my lapse, here in Spain ( I joined the Spanish Legion) half of the population don´t know we have a military and that they are deployed to war zones, and the other half doesn´t care, so here there is no parades, except on rare occasions, basically we (the soldiers) don´t give a s…t about the public, we don´t expect a handshake with a thank you, we more expect a spit on the face actually,it´s just a complete different mindset. So I sometimes forget the American perspective and the tribute you guys pay to your tropos, which I think is great.

Being a proud American I am so very sorry to hear how your country treats you. Every country should be proud of their own heroes, those who fight for their freedom. But, I’m afraid even America didn’t always act with the respect deserved. You only have to look as far back as the Vietnam war to see a disgrace that all Americans should be ashamed of.
So I hear you and know what you’re saying. However, being one of our friends and allies I’m proud of your service and sacrifice my friend. God bless you.

I remember working with Vietnam veteran in while I was there in high school, and yes it was quite tragic time in the U.S. Here we(soldiers)really don’t give it too much thought what civilians think or don’t. I´ll tell you a quick anecdote. First week of basic training while going out of the base for a 2 hour stroll in groups since they did tell you to not go out alone, I did say to the group something to this effect ” Aren’t we here to protect these people?” ( still with my American mentality) the whole group looked at me as if I was nuts. But appreciate your comment.
God bless you too.
