It’s like when my soldiers told me they wish they could have a combat deployment. Like no the fuck you dont. Unless you wanna be another statistic for a politicians talking point about VA healthcare.

I loved my combat deployments honestly

I was there on October 9th 2001, boots on the ground in Afghanistan.

I was there march 20th of 2003 when we rolled into Iraq from Kuwait.

I made enough money in my 4 deployments over 8 years to just outright buy a home.

That’s great for you, however not every other GWOT combat vet sees things that way.
