None, wrong age bracket. But I've lost two mates in Afghanistan, do they count?

Went to Afghanistan last year, does that count?

No bullets, but we often had rockets fired at us. They destroyed the Pizza Hut one night, thankfully no-one was hurt. In a strange way that rocket probably helped save the life of a few Americans. Pizza Hut is not good, Pizza Hut in Kandahar is borderline toxic. Does this count?
Like I said earlier, start another thread and I'll debate you on your views of war. You might be surprised that
a) Your opinion is flawed in some respects
b) We agree about some aspects of what you say
My last comment in this thread.
