Skipy, you ever BEEN to war? Have you seen the guts and blood, the brains and bodies, resulting from war? Are YOU willing to die for a cause? Die gutshot in a gutter because medical help can't get to you? Live with your buddy dying in your arms, his legs blown off by a mine or a mortar shell?

Don't give this old soldier any crap about how glorious it all is. Been there, seen the elephant...and it's damned ugly.
