There is no comparison to me just being a military brat and you doing your very dangerous military job.

I know you like to pretend what you did was not dangerous, but I am not some rookie civilian
type who believes it for one second.

I know what job you did and I know you are damn lucky and damn
skilled to be alive with all your body parts intact and not blown to bits.

As you know my WWII Navy uncle was killed giving US Navy support to the marines on land,
and my dad risked his life in WWII, Korea, and Viet Nam, giving air support to marines on the ground.

We always knew the Marines had the hardest job.
