Mick: you state your views so well. The only slight disagreement I have with your message is with the first couple of sentences. True, one who has not experienced a war cannot consider himself an expert on the subject. However, given the order to report for active duty back in 1951, I have absolutely no doubt but that I would have done so. How I would have acquitted myself in combat is something I will never know. I have often wondered though. Likely I would have found myself the deepest hole I could find, and burrowed in. I do not viewe myself as the Audie Murphy, Bob Kerry or Rambo type.
