veteran's discussion
I started this in v.3 and it was beginning to pick up, with the help of a few of the veterans in our midst such as rockogre, sandman, i8one2, anredux2002, reconmike, and zerocode. Here's the deal: Some of you veterans may have things on your mind that you want to talk about, joke about, discuss, get out in the open, or otherwise get out of your heads. THIS IS THE PLACE TO DO IT! If you are a current serviceman or veteran of any period of service (doesn't have to be combat or a specific "conflict") come on in and hang out.
