I've been asked several of these questions as I'm sure you have. The worst question for me is asking me if I ever killed someone. I was in a war, what do you think, is my reply. Some of these, if not all, have been asked these questions.

Have you ever killed someone has got to be the top question for this I agree.

WO1 (Join to see), It's one of those questions that puts you on the spot, and makes me feel uncomfortable.
LCDR (Join to see) ,I guess it is. Kids like to hear about gore, blood, and guts stories. They see it most everyday playing those video games.

SGT (Join to see) As you already know i have been ask all 9 over the years and like you avoid some of them especially (did you kill anyone or how many did you kill) could add 1 or 2 to the list .I understand the curiosity to an extent,but some of the people who ask are just being obnoxious or derogatory.

SSgt Terry P., Yes, I forgot about those types. Just recently a friend of mine and a friend of his went to a restaurant. When my friend told him I had been in Vietnam, he said " Oh Yeah, how many people did you kill?" I just ignored him. I realized right away he was a smart ass. My friend apologized to me for him asking that question.

A good answer for an ass is " would knowing give you a hard on " for a little kid it's always "no"
