  • Very interesting video Les. You made some very intelligent decisions for a young man. Only wish that some of my decisions would have been better..lol. I love the way you played the military against itself by reenlisting..smart. You are a sharp cookie Les. Keep em coming buddy.

  • Les says thank you . . . he is enjoying remembering and talking about his early days.

    I meant to respond to a comment that was addressed to me (Gingeronymous), but I accidentally pressed the "remove" button instead. It thanked me for making the videos. I want to say that it's special to me. I'm Les' relative, who has been promising to make videos about his stories for the past ten years. Now I'm thrilled to be actually doing it and sharing them with so many people! -Gingeronymous

  • Thank You for your service. And mostly thanks for the great videos!! These will be considered a piece of history for all to learn from. If i ever make it to be your age, i hope i can look back and feel like i accomplished as many things as you have. Take care of yourself and keep em comin!! - Bill, VA

  • wow he joined the army when he was 17 ... He is exactly like me in 9 months ill be 17 and joining the army and my dad doesnt want me to go so he doesnt want 2 sign concent either !

  • Thank you for explaining. Good for you. It was merely a question as to whether you really had no regrets. I'd imagine that I would have some. You say you do not, and I applaud your reasoning and strength. I have never fought in a war, and I hope I never will.

  • What do you have a "?" next to my statement "No Regrets"? I could have spent the rest of my life feeling sorry for my self, but I chose to look at my situation and make the nest of it. Have you ever been in a WAR? A battle for your life? If so you should understand. If not you should never question a Solders reasoning for what he does. I chose to say "NO REGRETS"! So that I could stop having the night mares. So that I could go on and raise a good strong family. I have no regrets.

  • NO regrets?

  • same with my gramps

  • Listen remember you can joined the armed forces but listen to my words war is hell my great grandfather fought with the british army in WWII and he never talked about his war experiences you must remember how awful it could be.

  • thank you for posting these
