_BiB_ Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I believe he got his first purple heart for cutting his finger while opening a can of spam. 5912[/snapback] It might have been the old c-rat ham and eggs, which in it's own right deserves a purple heart (if you ever ate any).

Alaska Darin Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Hey I liked the ham and eggs.

VABills Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 You did not just call c-rat ham and eggs "good chow," did you? 5928[/snapback] Yup. They are better warm, but when you're in the field you gotta eat them cold. That mucus looking slime that was on them sometimes was a little gross, but overall not bad.

Quote, without linking, to a Drudge Report blurb that doesn't provide any links itself. [it's about halfway down on the right, folks.] I was wondering where you found this; then I asked myself where would a fellow like you get his news from. Drudge was my first guess. Whoopie doo.

DC Tom Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 You did not just call c-rat ham and eggs "good chow," did you? 5928[/snapback] But he's a jarhead. Not all servicemen get to dine in four-star cafeterias off fine china dressed in their natty blue Smurf BDUs every day. Some of them actually have to go out and roll around in the mud on occasion.

IUBillsFan Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 Have you read the book yet? 5980[/snapback] Not finished yet but I do have it and most of the way through it...Some pretty good stuff. Parts that do discredit some of the SBVT say...The thing is I've thought that both sides aren't telling the whole truth that's why I'm reading both books...SBVT is next, hard to get much reading done with a 4 year old and a nine month old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
