Yes...opinion. He has offered up his opinion based upon his thoughts...experience and has made certain conclusions from said thoughts and experience. There are some that have served that have similar thinking but they are not the majority of those that have served. And no the bulk of his thinking and conclusions are not "fact". At best he was/is naive.
While I can empathize and sympathize with my fallen comrade in arms I do not agree with his opinion/opinions and or conclusions.
I have served in Grenada...Panama...Desert Shield...and Desert Storm. I was injured during Desert Storm and was Medically Discharged in '92. I have suffered severe mind numbing pain...24/7...every day since that time and think about ending it every day that I live. I was not naive when I enlisted...as I come from a long line oi military ancestors...and was fully aware of what the consequences of the oath I took could mean.
