They never put their butts in harm's way. They never bet their asses and their own blood and lives and limbs. They got off easy, safely behind a desk somewhere. They never saw war, and never understood what horrible wreckage and waste it is. Frankly, I'm not impressed that reagan made movies for the Army as an enlistee. That uniform was little more than just another movie costume for him.
