    To WVON: 10-28-09
    A follow up to Santita's today's (10-28-09) program:

     

    A REALITY OF WAR AND THE AFTERMATH.
    At 17, I enlisted in the United States Army and after basic-training,  joined the 24th Infantry Regiment Combat Team fighting (volunteered)  in Korea. It was originally known as the BUFFALO-SOLDIERS and found myself fighting in a bloody war in a place I had never heard of before: Korea. During nine months of fierce combat, purple-hearts & etc, I developed not only a soldier's mentality but a political consciousness as well. Things I should have learned in civilian-life, which would've better prepared me for the reality of a war...  THINGS TODAY'S HIGH SCHOOL CHILDREN SHOUGH BE MADE AWARE OF, BEFORE ENLISTING IN THE MILITARY.

     

    IT WAS KOREA THAT  I CAME TO THE REALITY OF WARS, WHICH WE (soldiers in general) WAS FIGHTING FOR OUR LIVES.
    Sure, we say what people want to hear if and when we return to these United States of America.

    PS: I don't expect a reply to the above statement, after all, its one of those WELL KEPT SECRETS.
