Ripper,
Sorry no. I didn't get to kill any bad guys... I guess that makes me a second rate soldier. My bad.
I was too busy supporting the folks that did the actual fighting. Remember that for every front line fighter, it takes 10 others to make the operation happen. But I didn't get to shoot at anybody, so I guess my service doesn't count for anything.
