Yes! How dare they intrude on our babbling.
I do know much more about betting on horse races in Korea now though.

I needed Guff to find me which booth have what. Most of the time, I'm walking around circle. Overall, it's a great event & I would love to go back next yr.

Hm... not working my friend. Compass is keep spinning. & yes, I look all those pics.

He didn't seem to understand that just because a reservist didn't get a chance to go overseas, that doesn't make their accomplishments any less important. That kind of shit really bums me out.

I never got the chance to go when I put my name in because I had just turned 18, and was in college. My CO said to me that I should finish up my studies first and then make that call. I'm still full of regret that I didn't push it harder. But, on the bright side, I do not have PTSD and I do not have to fight with Veterans Affairs to be able to get the help that I'm entitled to, unlike too many of my friends.

Edit: this is compounded by another person (who is in fact a member on here) who also discredited my service because I never went overseas.

Pro tip: try shining then lacing up your combat boots and being berated every free weekend you have when you're 16 or 17 while doing your basic training. Missing things like prom, college convocation, deaths of family members all because you signed on the dotted line and agreed to unlimited liability.

Second edit: he also didn't seem to care when I mentioned that for 3 years, I was part of the brigades high readiness team that would deal with any local happening, from forest fires to flood relief to whatever the fuck else might happen that local authorities couldn't handle. For those wondering what my brigades area of responsibility was, it was all of Ontario.

I've had similar conversations with vets and current enlisters together about this topic. Seemed like most don't care too much if some guys have a desk job or were not sent overseas... until one of them speaks out of turn and makes comments they shouldn't be making. So I've only seen some guys give some people shit if they try to relate in some points or brag they don't have to do much in comparison. Just know your place and do your job. That's all that matters. Everyone gets along, for the most part.

I have had this conversation many time when some wingnuts say "oh you just were UN peace keeping so that really doesn't count as combat". My standard response is " Ever take fire and not be permitted to return it or leave?"
