Would going on a combat patrol in Nam and seeing action
Advertisements [?]
be considered dangerous? OR would it be considered chickenshit 35 years later. How can one reconcile that it would be? How can one have the nerve to call a Vietnam vet a chickenshit especially if the Vet conducted dangerous combat patrols against a very deadly enemy AND if that person er...calling the Vet a chickenshit had never served in the military and was never involved in combat?

And here's another question... Say you were that Vet and you did conduct multiple compat patrols in deadly Viet Nam...And say you came close a couple of times to being killed. IF YOU HAD THE CHANCE AND OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE HELL OUT OF NAM FOR ANY REASON, WOULD YOU!? I know for sure I would! AND...if you encountered a pukeshit 35 years later WHO never served in the military but called YOU a Chickenshit for having the NERVE to get out of Nam while you were still alive, would you knock his or her ass out? I would in a heartbeat!
