Feeling sorry for those that die in a war is something we all feel and most say this with words. I never have felt the great feelings that some people feel. People die, its part of living. We are born we grow we die, the end. Those guys didn't die for anything more than a cop that stops a car and gets gunned down or a carpenter that falls off a roof. Yes , nobody wants to see anybody die, but we all will die, its just a matter of when.
When things get Hard for Army unit and people die, it makes the rest of the guys in that unit stick there chest out just a little futher, they are proud to be part of that unit because of the Hard, and that they made it.
I was in the 4th inf and 25th inf in VN and when the movie Platoon came out and those guys were walking past the camera with that 25th patch on I felt a little proud that I was part of the 25th, Because of the Hard.
Im rambiling,
Ron
