Neither are you or hot-ham-and-cheese, old sojer. *You two act like
you're super citizens whose military service has elevated you above others.


Heil has no problem denigrating servicemen. *Why doesn't he mention
that?


Heil has a great number of problems. :-)

Just a couple of days ago you ridiculed someone who wrote about the
Vietnam War Memorial. *


Just a couple of days ago I thanked that individual for his service.
That doesn't mean that I approve of the memorial.


Ahem, one of those was super-patriot-phrase-shouting "No
Call Sign Given" who supposedly was "IN" the 101st
Airborne. It had all the earmarks of Major Dud, famous
for his gratuitous emotional phrase tossing. :-)


You bleated something about Korea. *


You bleated something about running for the Roanoke Division
Directorship. *How's your nomination coming?


He may have only 1 nomination vote. shrug

You didn't
serve in Korea during the Korean War. *


You didn't serve in Korea.


As far as I'm concerned, Heil hasn't shown us ANY proof
that He was in southeast Asia during his military service.


You made up your classic tale of
what it is like to undergo an artillery barrage. *


Did Len get it wrong? *Tell us what it's like.


I'd like to know what David "knows." I've been roughly
200 yards from an artillery fall...which was 300 yards
too close to the training group I was in.


Your embellishment of your military service is legend.


Dave K8MN


Your smugness is legendary.


It must be his training at the Fruenze Military Academy. :-)

Well, we've had Major Dud in here expostulating up a storm
about his "USMC career." We've had Heil telling all sorts of
things about "being in a country AT war." Those all blend
together, don't they?

Did David actually OPERATE any radios (other than a BC
receiver) in Vietnam? I must have missed one of his brags
about that because I don't recall him giving any information
on that. I really can't believe half of what he says in here.

When I was assigned to ADA, we actually OPERATED HF
radios...and VHF radios...and UHF radios...and some
microwave radios. Before the 1965 date that the DoD
says the USA "got involved" in the Vietnam War. Not
only that, I've got photo and text references to that on a
publicly-accessible website. shrug

But, David is passing a brick about my being a "newcomer
to radio" (after 54 years of that) and I guess we are supposed
to let him do that. [the pain must be excrutiating for him]
