Not true. I talk about it when asked but I’m pretty heartless. There’s been times where I’ve taken sniper fire and had to put my face in goat shite, there’s been times where if I was the 2nd person in the door or 5 seconds early I wouldn’t be alive today, and there’s been times where haji did a piss poor job of making a pressure plate so it only resulted in some minor bleeding.



You’re right. I’m the same way. If asked I’ll talk about it but I don’t just go around bragging about it. I fought in the First Gulf war as a gunner on an Abrams. I didn’t do anything special other than knock out some tanks, apc’s, andcsome trucks. I’m sure I killed whoever was in those vehicles but I never even saw them. And yeah they fired back and our tank even took some hits. But they did nothing other then put some dents in the front of the turret.

It’s amazing this board sees veterans as humble, and if they aren’t humble they are lying. They should take a visit to their local vfw. Sheesh, the Army came up with badges for Soldiers to wear on their duty uniform for proof they came under enemy fire (CIB/CAB), talk about humble.

People handle “dramatic” events different no matter what the profession. Being humble or not doesn’t define whether someone is lying.
