I dropped by Walmart Friday evening to pick up some ammo and a couple of young guys were at the counter - one of them wanted to buy a varmint rifle. We started chatting and they mentioned being stationed in NC. I asked where and they said LeJune, and that they were both just recently back from Iraq. I thanked them for their service (Lord they were young) and said I was glad they were safe and sound. One of them said "It's not as bad as the media make it out to be." "CNN is the worst. We were in Fallujah and would hear a report that six Marines were injured. We were the only unit in Fallujah and knew no one had been hit. They just make bad s**t up."
Not a revelation, I admit, but interesting to hear from guys that have just gotten back.
