I would. The experience isn't something that can be taught or conveyed through words or film but rather something that must be experienced first hand. I think most people who have been in the miltary and especially those of us who have seen war have a different perspective on the world and what is really important.
Camo you are so right with this. Until you experience it you don't know WTF you are talking about. Movies, books, and games can only portray what they think is going on or what happened. It is violence porn and meant to be entertaining. The physical & emotional aspects of what you experience and see are beyond describing. I can honestly tell you that with my 4th trip to the box coming up this fall I've seen a lot of shit. On each of my stints I wrote a journal on the daily events so that one day I can pass it on to my children and they would have an understanding what Daddy did for them and all of the people in this country.

Sometimes death is all you can see, it's all around you, it consumes you...so you have to look at it in the eyes and bare your teeth.
