Jim,
It's bad enough to have the wannabes but then they are the ones who have the bullshit stories of throwing people out of the ship and being able to lead women and children the right distance so they could hit them with their machine gun. Which by the way they are unfamilar with the phrase of "sixty or pig."
To me this is another part of history which needs to be put in its proper place. Not sitting on a self in someones basement. In the next thirty to forty years we will proablly be gone but the written history and words of our unit and the others who were there need to be preserved. We were not the heroes of the war. The ones which never were able to live their lives the way we did are. Our heroes are Martin, Billie, Shifty and the other 58,000 plus names which are engraved on the long black wall. We own it to them that the world never forget what they did and gave for their country.
