Think would be awesome if someone started an all Veterans Squad. I don't care what country but I'd join. And also think a lot other guys would too! Be fun as heck; and we would kick some serious you know what! :aok And surely bust each others B_____!
Actually, make it a Rook squad...they need the players ATM !
"Vet's R Us" "DD-214er's" Whats is a good anagram for Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, & Coast Guard? Starting with "N" of course! :cheers:

Using A for Army, A for Air Force, C for Coast Guard, M for Marine Corps, and N for Navy, best anagram would be NAMAC. Suggested in game humorous definition.

Is the Purple Heart squad not a veterans squad ?
Or is it for Purple Durple holders only ?
-
pops was looking to do that on the Rooks. Not sure what happened to the plan.

Thanks Ace, always wondered just based on the name.

You're welcome. I wondered too, until they invited me in and I made it clear I wasn't a vet. I know there are some vets that fly with the group.

Veterans are dweebs.

The original squad leader earned a Purple Hearth himself. We still use the Purple Hearth name to honor him and all other vets.

:salute The one medal only earned the hard way, keeping the squad name active is a great way to keep his original purpose in peoples minds. Every time I see a PH squad member land and the squad name displayed, it gives me pause as a Vet. :salute

sounds like a way to crap on people who werent in the service. in my experience, vets seem to look down on civilian players in AH. bc we just dont know the troubles blah blah blah

Probably the stupidest statement made on this forum in a long time.

oh geez, relax, just saying that from my experience, there seems to be a divide. its a small one, but its there. dont get all wound up, theres no disrespect meant. but ive seen a few times where a vet will say something like "youre just a civilian, what do you know about brotherhood?" and other things in that nature. dont pretend you havent heard stuff like that. and you can let your patriot force field down because im not bashing veterans or even close to that, even though you guys want to make it into that. i have no say so and dont truly care if there is a veteran squad just to be clear, go for it. but i do think there is a certain amount of disdain for civilians, which will create a small divide in certain terms. and again, dont get your panties in a wad trying to show how much of a patriot you are by jumping down my throat. youll get your chance to brown nose a veteran at some point when someone really does bash a vet. and then they will lift you up on their shoulders and carry you off the field. and everyone lives happily ever after.

Not to my knowledge. Maybe Weiser can answer that.

Probably no more than a certain amount of disdain from some civilians towards vets. Usually the anti-war types.
I do think you'll find most vets, especially foreign theater vets are more than happy to be civilians again. Especially ones that served multiple overseas tours like the middle east.

yep true, probably more from anti war types

Exactly, us Vets are rough around the edges but for the most part are pretty relaxed people (normally from Uncle Sams hurry up and wait mentality) haha.

Trust me, most vets hate those types of vets who complain about their experience and hold it over people's head. That bring said when someone brings up real life as an argument and they have never experience real combat that's where I know I can get snappy on people.

True that, it's somewhat like "un-married marriage counsellor syndrome". :headscratch:

Am I proud to be a Vet? You betcha! Do I feel I am a bit different ? Yup that is for sure. Am I better than anyone else??? Nope not by a long shot. When asked about my service do I give a no holds barred opinion ?? Every time. Most folks just don't get us being who we are at times. I don't think we tend to be exclusive, we tend to gravitate to that which is "normal" for us. Point in fact my ex-wife asked me once if I ever paid attention to what happens when we go to a party where my Vet buddies are at. I said no and this is what she said, she told me at the beginning of the party you all are spread out, you say hi to everyone and then by mid party you guys are all grouped together in a corner and you are there laughing and talking. When someone who is not a vet comes over to say hi or whatever you all stop and sit there and seem to to kinda say without saying it ,hi, now please go away. She was right, we never mean to do it but we just do because we just kinda feel like we can't be ourselves around normal folks...lol We laugh about it because we understand how others may look at it but we are just being normal in our own demented way and we do not want those who would not understand to be made to feel uncomfortable around us and our totally horrible way of displaying our love and respect for each other and having to listen to war stories all day besides I know for myself I get told I am a mess and I need help by my civie friends if I just let myself be who I am. I feel I have to hide who I am and what I really think because folks would think I am nuts most times. That gets tiring if you have to do it all day.
