Heh, it seems the people who are willing to tell stories are the ones who embellish things to make themselves look cool.Haha, no thanks. I honestly believe that there are things out there that society should be exposed to so that they can get a real idea of what things are actually like. Like a lot of other institutions, the military is the keeper of certain kinds of wisdom, and we all benefit when wisdom is shared. I certainly don't tell these stories to make it look like Rambo. I just want to give people a glimpse into that other world so that it can inform other decisions that they make or beliefs that they hold. After all, most people in this forum are from countries where you vote your leaders into office. Sometimes, those leaders start or become involved in wars. We should have an understanding of what that means.
The people who would tell you things straight up are the ones who don't talk much about it.
