Country:  | No I know he does not know, by the way he talks. He tries to act tough and like he knows what is going on. He does not though.
I am not trying to be mean to him, I just want to get him to understand.

Country: | But you're still a kid.
Look, I meet with WW2 veterans, I even do historic research on them but I still cannot be the same... I almost feel shy when I talk to them about something I consider as known to me but in fact, I don't know it because I've never been there.
That's what the guys here trying to tell you, P-38...

Country: | I am saying: Stop trying to be a soldier when you are 14 years old. I was no prepared for what I saw when I was 23 and you are only a child so you are deffinatly not prepared and you can not possibly know that you will be ready when you are older...

Am I correct Les, Erich and Eric? No matter how much you train, you are not ready for it when it really happens. You are ready to do your job, but you are not prepared for what you see. | Theres a part of you thats emotionally not ready to handle a situation where you have to take someones life, but when your with your patrol and you make contact and start exchanging rounds, thats when your training kicks in and theres no time to think about anything, but when the fight is over and you either see one of your dead enemies or your dead buddies thats when it really hurts, because its a reality check, it aint Hollywood

Country: | I noticed that hussars, so its all good, and I have to agree with ur previous post... Adrenaline is a wonderful drug, as it heightens certain senses and dulls certain areas of the brain.... Its when the firefight is over and the Adrenaline stops being produced that reality sort of comes back into focus, and usually, that reality is as far from what is normally considered real as my co*k is from the floor....
We were shown the realities of war during BUDs training prior to getting to a Platoon and no matter how many pics of dead and mangled bodies u see, u cant really comprehend it until u deal with it IRL...
War is Hell, and Im punching the tickets....

Country: | Its an acronym for Basic Underwater Demolitions Training... Its the training a Navy SEAL goes through to become a qualified operator...
The toughest military training in the world I might add...
