Cpl George Randitsas - Well said CPL! I'll have to think up something like that for the next half wit who asks that.

I have allergies to idiocy, but thanks to the fact that I have been a line medic, I can really be nasty in my responses, for the shock value.
I hate, loathe, when I get asked have I killed anybody. I keep educating people on that, for friends, i do with tact, with strangers I asked them back, have you ever been rammed up your behind (not in those exact words though, way more profane), some even ask me why do I get so nasty and personal, i respond back, i guess killing anyone is not personal...
I like to go to schools, and help with geography, social studies, etc, while I was in the WTU, I did over 40 presentations, on Afghanistan, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Iraq, etc, places where I have been and have plenty of pictures, as well as on the days leading to veterans day. I think we need to educate our young ones, and not loose our time with the grown up knuckle heads...
Merry Christmas to all!

Question: How does your wife put up with this?
Answer: She didn't. The fifth deployment killed our marriage.

I used to fly MQ-1's the evil "Drones" Whenever "Drone Strike Killl's Terrorist," showed up in the news. I used to be asked by my friends, "hey I heard about that Drone strike in the news." "Was that you?" Me: "No, that wasn't me." Me: "Even if it was I couldn't talk about it anyway, but I assure you that all I did today was watch a house for 6 hours take a couple piss breaks and refill my coffee." They would have a disappointed look on their face. It didn't really annoy me, but I always thought it was comical that people really thought we went to work "gun slinging" everyday.

None of my friends have asked that either. Of course they may just be assuming that I have.
