Yeah what's a slacker wimp ? Lol

Mike
I was told by a Jarhead, No Offence, that a "Slacker Wimp" is an American that doesn't believe in fighting for his country and hides from service.

I was in the Navy for 6 years and wonder how many others are Veterans or slacker wimps.

Question for ya all I was a couple years to young for Vietnam and was out long before gulf war so didn't see any combat. Question is what do you think of the government calling us "Cold War Veterans"? I personally think it is something to make those who didn't see combat feel better about their "normal work" service as I call it. And not to tick off those others who didn't serve in combat but was just wondering about it.

Frank,

We were all young, and we served our nation. YOU served your nation! Combat veteran, or just veteran - we are brothers.

Others, of course it seems, went to college and studied Marxism and how they would institute that form of government here - they studied well....
