last year my best friend showed me pictures of himself in Vietnam..Khe Sanh...

a brutal battle... He passed last year...Now, because I saw these photos can I now tell everyone that I fought in Vietnam?

I think yes... Now that Billo claims that seeing pictures of war entitles one to claim that he was in the fight or battle of that war, should mean that he has set a new standard for personal experiences.

Hey I watched the Moon Landing...So fuck it..I was there..
