    Yeah, but that would include everyone else too -- or so I have been told.

    OK Wildcat.......I have given you the benefit of the doubt here.

    But my Bullshit meter is pegged with some of your posts.

    So how about answering some of my questions.

    #1......When were you in the A Shau valley?

    #2......When were you in Cambodia and Laos? (And it ain't fucking classified anymore!)

    Two simple questions...that is all I ask?

    If you can answer them correctly....we will welcome you here.

    But if you continue evading the questions....then we have no option but to think you are another fucking poser!

    It is that simple Bro!....It don't mean nuthin'

    You also never answered 307th's question? This is Airborne 101 and taught day 1 in BAC.

    Sorry Hero,

    That is a lame answer:

    Now, I am sure, that if you are who you say you are, you would not want someone dishonoring your service by claiming experiences they did not have.

    For some reason there are a lot of people who do this.

    Now...we have been more than understanding with you. Might I remind you that you stepped up to the plate here.

    It is time for you to show some balls and answer some of the questions you have been asked.

    So... what does the lower jumper always have in the 82nd Airborne Division?
    Light engineers must be proficient in marksmanship, demolitions, light infantry skills, and field-expedient engineering. Because of the austere conditions in which they operate, light engineers must have knowledge of all weapons in their unit, an intimate understanding of the weapons systems of the forces they support, and a working knowledge of the enemies' weapons. The close combat skills of light engineers must be unequaled. They must hold total confidence in their abilities to apply these skills and tools.
