Nah, you haven’t come across as anti USAF. I jut wanted to balance some of the crap you got from some of my fellow ex-zoomies in the comments you received of Reddit.

Bam. I knew hardcore support guys, and combat arms guys who wanted nothing to do with combat. It’s the mentality, not the MOS. On my first deployment we had cooks, mechanics and other support guys regularly on missions. On my second deployment I was a support guy but worked with line units. My pride comes from my willingness to serve, not just my MOS.

Stuart,

I know exactly how you feel. Johnson thinks life back here is trivial compared to wartime service, because it IS trivial compared to wartime service. It’s normal for vets to feel that way. Nobody needs a disability check because they see bullshit for what it is.

Thanks Mac, and stay safe if/when you deploy again.
