Iraq, cool. You want to go abandon Fallujah a third time? You need to quit starting sentences with
>as a veteran
1. People who did not "serve" do not care about you being a veteran. At all. Not where you were, not the "man, this one time in _" stories, not what kind of kit you wore.
2. Other veterans either do not care, or are waiting for you to finish talking so they can compare DD-214's with you.
Stop standing up for applause at events, throw your velcro tactical cap away. Its either stroking your ego or holding on to the past - neither are healthy. If all you did was a year in Iraq...I have toiletries with that much time in theater.
