So you would not say being in combat (or combat areas) is different? A teensy bit more dangerous? A wee bit more uncomfortable? Everyone who ever enlisted- even in times of peace- feels a "bond" for being in the military. I haven't been to combat myself- but I can tell you that my dad didn't think he had anything in common with folks in offices.

Exactly. And my point clearly expressed but somehow incomprehensible to the redoubtable X is that line veteran or not ALL jobs in service in a war effort are important. A war machine to be effective needs to be well integrated. The US military effort during WWII was nothing short of incredible from lowly supply clerks right up to Ike himself. Stateside jobs are no less honorable. No one's honorable service to the country in time of war IN ANY CAPACITY ought to be discounted or ridiculed. JLA
