I'm what they call a 'chickenshit' who recognized very early on he did not have what it would take to serve in the armed forces in any capacity. For what it's worth coming from a civilian like myself, thank you for your service and writing up your memories. Consider that upvote button smashed as hard as this midwestern minnow can smash it. :)
You're not a chicken shit for not serving. Don't sell yourself short. You are important, otherwise what's the point in anyone serving?
I have a lot more coming but some of that is touchy territory so I am doing it as I can manage. I wanted a little humor, not everything sucked.
