I loved being in the military and I miss it now. However, I'm glad that I have been replaced by Younger Stronger Troops. I am damn proud of my nephew who is deployed in Iraq. I'm also proud of all our "Young Men and Women" who are out there giving it there all. Every time I see a Soldier, Marine, Airman or Sailor in uniform I swell with pride and I walk up and thank them for their service. These folks aren't playing war, they are living it. I'll be damn happy when they can come home. So for those who like to play "Tag" with a paint ball gun. Go out there and have fun. But don't for one minute think it has anything to do with "Combat". Don't even try to compare it.

In combat the red splat on your uniform is someones life blood. 

Wow, where did that come from?

May be your own too..

1st if you play paintball you can't just use any old army or marine bdu's or acu's
because if you go and play paintball for more then 24hrs it does not wash out ( I have been there and done that)

2nd it is not combat it is mill-sim and when you play always have respect and honour for thoese playing for real

3rd paintball is not very realistic if you want to be useing real looklikes try airsoft it is like paintball except the guns look real and no stain marks from paint

Ahhh. All of the Army and Marine guys and gals are always jealous because we got to sleep between the sheets.

At least in the Marines we got to see women and leave the ship. lol
