Maybe you are just a subpar blood brother.

Welcome home and thank you!
My dad was there as well.
Will never forget the look in his eyes one day… we were way back in the woods together and a timber company’s helicopter made a low pass.
Mad respect for all who served.

Do you feel bad knowing that a false flag escalated that conflict and cost thousands of lives?

As a fellow war vet, brother what does this have to do with LSU sports?
That's an emotional time for him I'm sure. My pawpaw served 1 year in vietnam and the stories he told are fricking terrible.

Everything, sir. Do you remember Trey Prather (Woodlawn HS, Class of 1965).
Prather was a star QB in high school, and expected to start at QB for the Tigers in 1966, esp after Nelson Stokely went out with a season ending injury the second week of the season. Cholly Mac chose to start Freddie Haynes instead, with mostly unsatisfactory results. Prather saw only limited action on the field, mostly in mopup relief in the second half of a big loss vs Florida.
Prather was so disgusted by his experience on the LSU sidelines in '66 he joined the service soon after the season ended, and was on the battlefields of Nam soon afterwards. He was mortally wounded in early '68 and died after about 10 days of unspeakable agony.

may i ask that you reconsider using the description "soldier" as a way to describe football players, such as the SMU QB.

People always look at the negative like yourself and assume I'm referring to a gangsta in the hood and not a lion on the battlefield because that's what I'm referring to when speaking about the way the kid balled out.

Taking this a little far. I do know what it feels like to lose brothers in war. As a combat medic, a few of them spent their last minutes with me. However, I’m not coming to a sports board with a bunch of random people that I talk LSU with looking to A. Receive credit or compassion from y’all B. Have yall be my therapist or C. Brag about my past experiences. I was just simply asking what this had to do with LSU. If someone posted a “thank you veterans” thread and he posted this, that’s applicable. But I was just asking what made this appropriate. If someone posted about Kamala or Trump or the Gulf War or Thomas Jefferson, I would be asking them the same thing.
