It's all in the experience. My experience is zipping by 500 feet up at 60 to a 100 knots, drop off and/or pick up, few discernible sounds other than jet turbine and radio crackle. Then back to electric lights, cold soda, hot shower, and my personal library. Tough life, eh? Hell, I didn't even have running water at HOME then. I was having the time of my life.
Anyway, I wouldn't know what an up-close infantryman's battle looked like if I were stuck in the middle of it. Whatever a "warrior vet" is - I ain't it.
