As a rule...the more someone talks about their time in service...the less they did. That dude pounding the table at the bar yelling "HOORAH" was probably a mailman.
So...I agree with OP![]()
Exactly, most of the soldiers in the field wanna forget that sh*t ever happened and have recurring nightmares and sh*t. One of the chicks at my mother's church has a man in the Navy, and you have to dig real hard to get him to talk about it, he'd rather talk about the Bulls and classic R&B and jazz. It's weird how people are like that

Are those the dudes that dress like ranger smith off yogi bear?

for the most part, military cats are people who couldn't achieve at anything else. most of the marines, etc. i've met are not very intelligent. they're low iq meat heads, essentially, and that's why the military recruited them. they're useful fodder for wars. they come back to the states, get their tuition paid and let some other sucker take their spot.
