If yiu didn't fight in WW II.....
If you didn't fight in WW II do you feel as though your had missed something?
Do you feel that given your druthers you'd rather have been there than not? Any regrets at having missed it? Anyone? Arthur Kramer 344th BG 494th BS England, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany Visit my WW II B-26 website at: http://www.coastcomp.com/artkramer |

Any regrets at having missed it? Anyone? Glad I wasn't there ( 8 years old when it ended) Served for 36 years in the Army though (Infantry) which included time on the two way rifle range. Do you have any regrets at missing the Wars since WW2 Art ? |

Any regrets at having missed it? Anyone? Glamorizing war is for recruiting posters and the Hollywood movie industry. I was born in 1939 so that's why the war may have started. I guess the Yank war didn't start until 1941. Too young for Korea also but I spent nearly 28 years in the RCAF/CAF with Norad and NATO squadrons as a tech. Do I miss going to war? Hell NO! Only the innocent get killed and crippled where the people responsible for the wars in most cases sit back and make money from it. WWII was a war that had to be fought and won however! Many of my relatives and friends were in the thick of it. Sadly there are fewer of them left as time marches on. Ed |

Do you have any regrets at missing the Wars since WW2 Art ? Nope.But in the last 60 years I constantly hear from guys who tell me how lucky I was to be there and how they wished they had been there with us. I was just wondering how those in this NG feel about that.
