Aww, crap... I got you some bamboo trees packed in red clay and a rice paddy for Christmas Bob, you can just chuck'em when they get there... Ok ? haha...

Yea, I never thought about taking a vacation to the Gulf either...... although I can't really say it was a shithole. Some of it was misereable, but being there as a civilian would probably make those things a whole lot better. Still don't care to see it again without a uniform and a Tank

Some other places I was stationed I would love to get back and see, Germany is one of them. Kansas isn't, Ha...

Vietnam though, now that's a shithole my brother put up with and that's why I want to go. If he was here to tell me about it, I probably wouldn't care to see it. He ain't so I got an itch to see what he saw.... at least part of what he saw.
