Merry Christmas from Alabama

[David Scott]

I like this site already. Gerry Williams sent me a great gun and was understated. Great guy to deal with.
Dennis, when I said an war that we could not win, it was not because of our capabilities, it was because of political restraints and our military strategy. You can not win a war of attrition against the masters of that type of war. Look at Vietnam's History. We could have invaded the North and won the war as we did in Iraq in a matter of months. Ruling them would be a different story.
Bill; even my wife seemed to be embarrassed by my service. After five years I was so much behind my peers in education and career. I remember receiving a letter from her after a bad day in country and she was lamenting the death of her cat. I thought how my buddies were dying over here and people back home are worried about cats. Our marriage did not survive. Years later I know it was not her fault not to know. No one can know unless they have been there. Thankful that most have not been there.
Bruce I must agree about the praise from civilians. No real frame of reference with them. And must say I added to their anger. Loved to stir them up. Thankful to God I did not lose it and go to jail for manslaughter :^). No more anger now for me, Lord took care of that. Hope you guys have the best Christmas ever. yobuddy
