It seems that old saying the good die young is true many times. Like Diane I think fondly of two good friends that went too soon. They are never gone as long as we remember. R.I.P. Steve

Don...listening to the flare story brought me back over 40 years ago. I was on perimeter guard duty in Vietnam. We had an M-60, our M-16's and an M-79 with us. We also had flares. They were about 12"-18" in long and it was a magnesium or aluminum tubes. You took the end cap of and put it on the opposite end and hit it on a hard surface to launch it.....just like you described. We heard something in the wire (probably rats) and launched a few. They landed in their parachutes on a nearby village straw roofs, catching fire, and the Vietnamese started shooting at our lines. Oh boy...we stated a war with our allies.....good times. From that time on we required an officer's approval before we fired flares.

That with heartproblems etc. Seems to come from alot of diving. The higher pressure from water ages people, it was never meant for us to live in the ocean.
So people that works as divers has often to stop earlier in life working or is gettingnother problems.

goldsmice, Couldn't have said it better my friend. The embarrassment these clowns must feel when getting called out has to be tremendous, however, if they are the type of sociopaths you are calling them, maybe they wont know what embarrassment even feels like. They need to just go live in Iraq or go eat some goat with a gross fucking Haji cook for a few years in filthy ass Pakistan. The freedom that our Service Members provide for these douche bags is why they are able to proclaim and say the shit they do. It's truly disturbing. I think that if you served for my country in any capacity, weather you were a janitor, SEAL, cook or Ranger, I'd be just as appreciative. The need to embellish is absolutely absurd man. Be proud of yourself. Well, nothing that hasn't been said before! But it is just ridiculous. These people, outstanding people, really know about loss and you can see it in their eyes'. It just makes me sick.
