I always like that before Wild Bill was a helicopter pilot, he was a LRRP soldier just like Stalker, Snake Eyes, and Storm Shadow.
Also, Duke is a pretty old soldier. He has been enlisted since 1967. He knows Han chinese and SE Asian dialects (probably Khmer, Viet, and Thai.
What always surprised me was that these soldiers like Duke, Flint, Lady Jaye was they are all college grads but are regular enlisted soldiers and not officers!
I would think this is unusual or unlikely but I actually know an engineer who has his bachelors in engineering and a master's in marketing.
He indebted himself up to his eyeballs in student loan debt and he joined the army as a enlistedman and he served in Korea. The army paid all his $50K debt off! More than the G.I. Bill.
He told me if you go in the army first, all you get is the G.I.Bill and army college fund. It doesn't pay like if you just go to college, graduate and then join.
Didn't know that.
Knowing is half the battle. And now I am too old to join and I still don't have a college degree!
DOH!!!! DOH DUH DOE!!!
