Actually the 'non nonchalance' is a 2 edged sword. In combat, panic is your worst enemy, cool as ice permits split second thinking and action. You MUST keep moving, cuz the bad guys sure are.
Back home in the 'World', when the adrenaline of combat is no longer part of the air you breathe, you can go crazy and it comes out in ways that are not a part of the real 'you'....I spent 5-6 years fighting my way into and out of bars, after 'Nam. Seeking that combat adrenaline. Now I race....
Our guys and gals are stretched waaaay too thin, and now the 'O' wants to cut military spending......add to their multiple tours less monies for actual operations, equipment, training and the bills at home do not stop.....
We ( our government) treat our troops like pure schitt and I DESPISE the 'O' for that very reason. RANT-RANT-RANT
