What happened to you?

Thank you. I did it for the college money, and luckily it was during peacetime. Desert Storm and the Berlin Wall came down right after I got out. I have a few friends that were still in during that ****storm, and survived.

This.

We are the original toy soldiers!

(And yes, I'm aware they're all green. Begorrah!)

Look at the men on the bottom, one looks like he is holding a beer bottle in his right-hand and machine gun in his left, the guy on the right looks like he is chugging a beer and the guy in the center looks like he's throwing a potato.

I'd also like to know this.

You didn't miss anything fun after the twin towers fell, believe me. Unless you like being uncomfortably warm, full of sand and dodging mortars and rockets.

I also did it for opportunity. Turned out great for me.
I honestly owe my life to the military. I wouldn't be here without those 6 years. The kind of person I was, I just needed it. I applaud those who never did, but looking back, I feel like there's a lot a person can take away from the experience and use it to their benefit.

DJ, 3 years is a long enough time. I thank you for your service as well. It's unfortunate that you couldn't gung ho any longer than that. To ask a personal question, what's the most important thing, in your opinion, that you learned from the military, DJ?

This.

I don't understand all the negative comments towards Forward To Death. I don't venture into the sports forum but everywhere else she's been a top poster who can really kick off an interesting debate without getting defensive or personal.

I also don't think it's mentally possible to dislike Janszoon.
