TRihead and bluesky, Regardless of where you served or what you served in Regular military of reserve, the point is you served.
While in Saudi and Bosni I served next to reserve and They were good soldiers. Bullets are not prejudice, they wont divert from any target (I understand people kill people not guns, just covering my ass.) Bluesky godbless your grandfather those men are heros, my grandfather unfortunatly died in Italy. I could not imagine storming a beach into a wall of bullets.
War is a very sensitive subject as we all can see here, far be it for us to judge the actions of those in a combat situation where decisions must be made in seconds, same for the politicians, as much as I despise them I wold not want their job.
