    Default Vets and jobs article from the NYT

    Good read and so true.

    My father and I don’t talk much about my time in the war. I’ve told him a little about my frustrations with the experience and about my contradictory feelings of pride and humbleness. During dinner one evening, when we were discussing my difficulties with juggling my civilian job and National Guard responsibilities, my father finished chewing his food and placed his fork down on the table.

    Great article but some of the reader comments really pissed me off.

    There is a huge knowledge gap between those who have served or are still serving and those who haven't.
