No matter what I post, documents or awards, you people that live in a tiny fish bowl and have no real life experience, will say I am a fraud. I chalk it up to your government’s pacifist policies. The only real people that you know who have fought in battle, are in video games. Think about it, King Charles wears medals and everyone assumes he earned them, because you’re told to believe it, you do. I don't need to prove myself to people that only read about war and think…. wow! No worries gentlemen, you’re safe and sound from battle, you’re Canadian and as such, you have the US in your corner. Not because people in United States respect Canadians, it is more likely due to the geographical location. Some people get lucky in life and can live, via, a keyboard and video game, some cannot. Regardless of what I have previously written, I know there are some Canadians who are not cowards and will fight if called upon. They are probably in the baby boomer generation. Now before I sign off, I want each and everyone of you that were critical of me to think, why? Is it because you googled something? Is it because in your mind it did not make sense? Is it because you have so much experience in these matters, you know I am a liar? When my father returned from Vietnam, he told me that people spit on him, and called him all kinds of bad names, for serving his country. Because I was a kid I could not relate to those stories. Now thanks to everyone that wrote I am a liar that does not know me, or my past, I totally understand his feelings, but for a different reason. My left bicep is gone and I have 22 titanium screws in my back, I must’ve dreamt it was from combat. In the same dream, I remember seeing a young FirstLieutenant, getting awarded a silver star. Almost immediately afterward, an old crusty sergeant major told the lieutenant, take it to Starbucks and see if it will buy you a cup of coffee. I understand!
