Ask an Army Vet.

I'm not an army vet, but I know Impediment is, and a few others on the site.

Though maybe it was stupid to make this thread without their consent.

Anyway, go ahead.

How many times have you gotten shot in the head?

Just how much heroin did you do in Vietnam?

Bonus question: ever accidentally set a village on fire or something because you're on heroin while handling guns and flamethrowers?

I'm just kidding I don't think these people did heroin in Vietnam

Though that scene in "Full Metal Jacket" where they are in the helicopter and the one soldier is just..shooting at peasants and shit. Does that shit actually happen anymore?

Anyways I'm also an army veteran

Now... When you say Army Veteran...

I got a badge and certificate from the ministry of defence for partaking in army training

Yeah that aint how it works Skippy...

Do you think women should be active participants in combat?

I still don't even know if Walshy is a dude or not.

I'm just going to say it: if Walshy is male, that's extremely creepy to be pretending to be a chick.

If he/she is not male then okay...

Getting shot, blowed up and tortured should be an equal opportunity occupation.

I'm not sure about US but British army started allowing women in infantry earlier this year

Is there a polite way to say "You're Not In The Army Now General" to a neighbour who thinks the neighbourhood he moved into last Tuesday is an Army Base.

Tell him you want to visit the nearest army base and then ask him if he knows where it is. So then if it's like 5 miles away you then repeat it back to him and stress it that "Oh, so then there isn't any Army Bases around here for at least 5 miles? Interesting, very interesting."

Do you think Walshy could survive the hazing he/she/it would get during boot camp?

Is there any semblance of reality in this or did Stanley Kubrick lie right to my face?

YouTube video

In other words my question is..does everybody really each get their own free towel?

Blanket parties do happen, but hazing is a serious offense.

I was thinking about getting my cousin a Playstation Vita next time I see him. (He's in the Coast Guard.)
