ORIGINAL: Made2Obey Having actually been in the service myself during the Vietnam war era, I have found subsequently that a great many males tend to claim service at that time. Most have never served at all, either stateside or overseas. What kills me most is when some guy sits next to me in a bar and begins going on about how tough it was in Nam, and they are clearly in their 40s. Usually that's my cue to boogie before they get me angry enough to deck them. I understand. They really tick me off and while I was in the Air Force during the last part of Vietnam the only foreign country I was ever sent to was Maryland. Maryland? Tough duty. My sympathies. According to my coworkers who had been there we (the military) were more popular in Vietnam than Maryland. But nobody was shooting at us. It did not compare to being in combat.
