Ya know, fint..there was a senator on tv not too long ago with the same mindset:

"I know more than you but I can't tell you".

The most feared words in the English language: "Trust me. I know what I'm doing".

Please do not denigrate those who served 30 or more years ago and came home to ridicule and rotten eggs. There is a BIG difference between planning safely behind the lines and actually observing first hand what is going on. Heck, as far as any war goes, even Generals cannot agree on proper action (even now). And, as a member of the armed forces, you do (or did) take your orders from superiors that may or may not have known what was going on. The "good old biy's club rules even in the military. You say you have information that does not match what others post. That may be true, but like I have said so many times, there is another unprovable. We are asked to "take your word" that your cites are superior.

If what you say is true, I respect the service you have performed. But even that is an unprovable.
