Your claim for hearing loss has been denied. There is nothing in your service or medical record to indicated that you were ever engaged in activities while on active duty to cause such disability.
Someone claimed it's about manliness, but it's actually that it's a safety issue. If a glove gets caught in the mechanism, your hand is just as gone and you're less likely to snag bare skin. Manliness as usual is how the unintelligent think warfare is conducted--a frailty of the mind that US war planners and soldiers used to exploit to no end. The American system of warfare boils down to treating warfare as a series of logistics and engineering problems. Esprit de Corps gets you French generals leading thousands of men to their deaths in minutes in WWII. Masculine superiority complexes get you Germany's overbuilt and under-supplied forces betting pinned down and slaughtered in detail across an entire continent. So when people tell you "men were men" instead of thinking about it, they're not just wrong, they're un-American and the very degeneracy of our time they claim to confront in others.
I like how it’s 2 minutes of credits for one sentence
Infantrymen firing howitzers but artillerymen are forgotten...
Go redlegs...
I Salute ALL Artillerymen, I served as a Combat Infantryman.
Did they do that for President James Carter?
