Just wondering now how You feel as some of our friends on this forum have come forth to Thank us for our service that we got scorned for?
Even when we transferred to civilian life we were to be out of uniform in 24 hours not to ever wear it again so even the military was ashamed of us, or was it because they were afraid of our safety.
I don't have the figures on the RA and US status at that time , but I'd bet 99% of the troops didn't want to be there, and only did what they had to in order to survive.. only to come back and although family accepted what happened others scorned your actions.
My thoughts are now ... Who was the lucky ones? The ones that made it back alive? ( and many of those have scars , wounds, missing body parts, and some with much dis figuration that they spent up until now in a hospital somewhere.)
I often think of how the world has changed, how we depend on previous enemy lands and their resources I sometimes believe the ones that never made it back are the lucky ones.
