The central issue is that unfair judgment by yesterday’s veterans about today’s soldiers only leads to bitterness, contempt, a failure to teach and learn, and a lack of leadership by example. The older generation of military veterans have an obligation to support, to teach, to learn and to appreciate the active military force. Finally, when soldiers leave active duty, we have the obligation and the duty to show and to coach recent military veterans how to succeed in society following their military experience. To help younger veterans and active military members, today’s older veterans must bury the hatchet on many critical issues to help and not to judge.

I belong to a group called the Brotherhood of Tankers. We in the Northwest ever year do a Barbecue in Idaho for the Troops during Tank Gunnery. I have never seen a better group of Soldiers. We do everything in our power to let they know they have our support and how to succeed without telling them how great we were. I remember when I was in AIT in 1968 the Korea war tanker veterans told us we would never amount to anything and we were the worse Soldiers and Tankers they had ever seen. NOT TRUE THEN AND NOT TRUE NOW. LTC Storlie you have our support and most of all we support the troops and young veterans.
