On a side note, when I was just out of high school I worked at a golf course maintenance shop and my supervisor was a WWII Veteran that was deployed to Iwo Jima. He told me he watched them raise that flag. He also ran into Audie Murphy and in boot camp he said there was a lower ranking soldier that was Medal of Honor recipient. He said that guy was a god there.
That's all he told me. No guts and no glory. Not a word involving his own experiences in battle.
I wish we had that generation in their prime, here right now. You think they'd put up with this bullshit today?
