Civilian Friends Versus Military Friends! (Courtesy of M&M)

I am not sure who authored it, but I thought the vets here will love it. Civilians: Get upset if you are too busy to talk to them for a week. Veterans: Are glad to see you after years, and will happily carry on the same conversation you were having the last time you met. Civilians: Have never seen you cry. Veterans: Have cried with you. Civilians: Borrow you stuff for a few days then give it back. Veterans: Keep your stuff so long they forget It’s yours. Civilians: Know a few things about you. Veterans: Could write a book with direct quotes from you. Civilians: Will leave you behind if that’s what the crowd is doing. Veterans: Will kick the crowds’ ass that left you behind. Civilians: Are for a while. Veterans: Are for life. Civilians: Have shared a few experiences. Veterans: Have shared a lifetime of experiences that NO civilian could ever dream of. Civilians: Will take your drink away when they think you’ve had enough. Veterans: Will look at you stumbling all over the place and say’ “You better drink the rest of that before you spill it!” Then carry you home safely and put you to bed. Civilians: Will talk crap to the person who talks crap about you. Veteran: Will knock the Hell out of them for using your name in vain.
