I agree, there isn't much more of a greater sacrifice than to put your life on the line for your country. I know I couldn't do it. Utmost respect.I like that you guys (mostly - obviously theres some idiots out there) have a great respect for your armed forces and veterans

Some of the stories about fighting conditions are amazing. The WW2 European stories in particular get to me. The cold, the lack of clothing, the lack of supplies and ammo and the often unknown or wrong information about nearby enemies. Lack of radio contact and directional instruction was often non existent yet you had to continue moving.
A vet was being interviewed and was asked 'how it was'. He replied - Imagine it's one of your coldest nights and you're walking towards a copse of trees in the distance. Then you hear shots whizzing past your ears and can't see a thing in the trees ahead. Beside you your squad mates are dropping and you don't know if they're dead or scared. Then your commanding officer says you must move ahead and remove the enemy. You never leave the group or wait behind out of fear, because there's greater safety within the squad. It could take you the entire night to move 500 meters across a field. Fear becomes like your heartbeat, ever present and loud in your ears.
