Dealing With Death; Vietnam Era
NOTR made a posted a response to my journal here in which he describes how the Army dealt with death during the Vietnam War.
What a stark contrast to my war where we tagged and bagged the personal effects of the roommate that had pulled pitch that morning and departed with a jaunty,"FU NOTR, keep the beer cold for when I get back." As we would separate the "stuff" inappropriate to get shipped home we would tell ourselves,"S*** happens - it don't mean nuthin." It was a lie of course. It was always hard.
I just thank God that I wasn't born thirty years earlier. People who say that Iraq is this generation's Vietnam really have no idea what they're talking about.

Hey! Thanks for the mention. Glad to see you have trackbacks enabled now! It makes it a lot easier to find out when folks reference what you wrote. How'd ya find this on my blog anyhow? It was months ago!
And you are right the system is better now. No matter how much one get's PO'd at the green machine, it tries to do the right thing...most the time.
Stay safe!
NOTR
No problem. I sometimes like to go archives-diving through blogs.
I know that the green machine usually has the best intentions. Unfortunately sometimes you run into a cog that just doesn't give a fuck.
Thanks, justme.
Mrs. Fisher, I am sorry. I can't imagine what you must feel.
I am thankful that my site is a comfort for you. And I am happy that you find solace and renewal in The Lord. I've experienced some messed up things in my life, even before I joined the Army. Faith in God, Who has a plan for everything, helped through those times. Though I've never experienced grief as great as you have. If there's anything I can do, let me know.

I'm the kind of hombre who enjoys to try original things. Currently I'm manufacturing my private pv panels. I am doing it all alone without the help of my men. I am using the internet as the only way to acheive that. I saw a truly awesome site that explains how to build photovoltaic panels and wind generators. The website explains all the steps needed for building solar panels.
I am not really sure bout how accurate the info given there iz. If some experts over here who had xp with these works can have a peak and give your feedback in the thread it will be great and I would highly value it, cauze I truly love [URL=http://solar-panel-construction.com]solar panel construction[/URL].
Tnx for reading this. You people are the best.

I already tried Second Life, but I didn't feel good about it, it was complicated and hard to understand. What are other good sites like this? I don't wanna have to download anything to my computer because I'm afraid of viruses and things like that.
