Have you ever seen a body without a head, or vice-versa?
If you have never seen a person blown to bits don't be in such a ****ing rush to war. I can assure you that those of us who have had to pick up those headless bodies and put them in bags do not often argue hard for the opportunity to do it again.
People watch TV and think they know what war is. A bunch of blow-hard ****ing idiots is all they are.
Another comrade of 11 Boo speaks out about his experience of dodging bullets.

The rest of the international community knows that, and that's why there are laws surrounding war.
Like ones about wars of aggression. The ones we so fragrantly violate because our populace at large throws that phrase around without having the slightest ****ing clue about why it came to be in the first place.

28. What you call a 'cop out' I call experience. You got any of that?
I see very few combat veterans who after the experience call for more wars. And by the way, this is a civil war going on in Syria, it is not a war of aggression. No other nation in the international community has been harmed by Syria at all.
WTF!!! Are you saying that the "war of northern aggression", when yankee's fought the peaceful southern United States wasn't a civil war?

9. I have, in 1970. A small aircraft
crashed into a neighborhood house when I was about 7. I ran the few block to see, and distinctly remember walking up on a dismembered, burned hand as I approached the crash.
The smell was horrible, but the crash site was a nightmare. The fire department was there, and I watched as people in uniforms pulled several body parts out of the rubble. I think there were two airplane passengers, and one man who lived in the house. I saw a body come out of the plane with no head (and had nightmares for a good year about the head being lost somewhere down the street)
That's when my dad ran up and got me the hell outta there.

16. Quite a few
But the faceless ones are the ones that still wake me up, 40+ years later.
How come every DUmb vet is a combat vet? I was in the Army during the conflict in SE Asia. I'm not a combat vet. They shipped my butt to Germany.
See DUmmies. That was easy. You should try it.

24. I've seen a guy with about an inch or two missing from the top of his head.
It was at a car accident, he had gone into the windshield. I could see his brains and he was conscious and talking to me. He died soon after.
Damn. You talked the poor man to death.
