Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Hanukkah, Noel, Yuletide, Yule, Christmastime, Xmas, etc, I think that is PC enough.
I have found it very difficult to tell people what I had been through while never leaving the base, without feeling like I was taking something away from those that go outside the wire everyday and really face the everyday dangers. I tell my stories but I find myself downplaying even being missed by a rocket by 25-30 ft. and end them with "But whatever I saw is nothing compared to what the soldiers and marines have to face every day".GunSlinger OIF II wrote:

The other thing that I find more irritating, now that I have been there, is reading stories in People magazine about "Fobies" and how they felt lucky to be alive and crap and all the dangers they faced in Iraq. Pathetic.
Gunslinger, USmarine, truly, I have an ever greater appreciation and understanding for your efforts and hardships over there, my hat is off to you for your service, and Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, lowing and all the rest of you guys.... Better late than never, right?
Happy non-denominational festivities.
