Can you believe this?

I just had to tell you all about this..I couldnt believe it. I've heard of wannabees especially Vietnam vet wannabees..but Gulf War?
I went out to a restuaraunt with a bar area and was waiting on my friend when a guy next to me struck up a conversation. Since its a small town he asked if I had grown up around here..I told him no but my husband had but that he had left for the army and college. This guy then tells me he is a Gulf War vet. I asked him where he was stationed..he told me some fort (I dont know them all) I asked him what his MOS was..he said "MOS?" I said..your job..something about tanks. I asked him how long he was in Saudi and he said "Saudi?" He looked very confused. He obviously knew nothing about the army nor anything really about Desert Storm. Just some wannabee.
I gotta tell you all I *really* wanted to deck him.
I dont know why..I am not a vet..but this jerk really got me angry.
I was seeing red..told him to in no uncertain terms to get away from me.

You deck him and Chris and I will sit on him.

That should do him in. Just sitting around isn't violent is it??

Then we'll have a counseling session on anger management!

We'll also have a session for this young gentleman on basic honesty and disillusionment.

These types are amazing aren't they. They have more brass than the Marine Corps Band. Had know idea that the Gulf Era is producing it's own wannabees' but why not. As long as there are wars, there will always be punks who didn't have the salt to be there, but got the brass to say they were. I agree with the Lt. and Keith, maybe we are not using a strong enough "deterrant" on these guys. Makes it to easy for them to go on. If "Wannabe Decked by Psyco(h) Vet Lt." would make a few headlines, maybe they'd stop.

Fake vets are even worse than draft dodgers.
