Have you no respect?
My grandfather fought in WWII, and he was a master carpinter or something like that, all i remember was he built bridges that could be dismantled in Germany. No, he wasn't on the Axis side he was with the Allies. He died in 2006, 91 years old.
Many of his friends were killed and his brother who was in italy was forced to be in the military for the Axis or else. He was captured. Not killed, and i thank god for that.
Don't laugh 1plus44, being sent to war means life or death.

He's talking about getting deployed overseas, not going to Afghanistan or Iraq. In 1993, my dad was called out again, married and 3 kids, 2 under 3, and 1 in Highschool, to be "deployed" again, this was around the time of the Somolia deal and my dad had been working in the Pentagon. He was thinking he was going to be in charge of casualties like in the Gulf War, instead, they sent him to Germany.
I know going to combat is a dangerous thing. My grandfather served with one of two only Army Companies in WW2 that got a Presidential Unit Citation. The other was in the same Division, Same Regiment, his sister Company. At Anzio. My grandfather served throughout the whole war, my great uncle, served in the Pacific. Made it all the way till Saipan, when he was shot by a sniper and hit by a grenade near the end. The only thing he ever told my dad about that was "when I was wounded, they thought I was gonna die. They put me outside the tent, that night, the Japanese killed everyone in the tent, but thought I was dead"
You're lucky to even know your grandfather, my grandfather died in 1989, almost 4 years before I was born. My other grandfather(if I can even call the man that, he left a 3 year old child, and a sick mother to God knows where), I am unaware, he ditched my dad when my dad was about 3, never heard from him again as far as I see it, he's dead as well.
I have much respect for the man, was not trying to offend you, but find it odd he's getting deployed, and the first thing that comes to anyone's mind ignorantly is "Iraq" or "Afghanistan"
I'll bet, if this isn't a mistake, when he gets deployed, after getting all worked up, he'll be going to Korea, or Germany. A missile operator doesn't go around with an M4 strapped to his shoulder and kicking in doors and shooting/arresting everyone inside.
I'm sorry if I offended you.
