Co.f 425 Airborne Inf.? would that be the unit you are refering to? I was in that unit 1993-2005....my father Phill Zaviski was in the unit from 1982-2000

| First I would like to say thanks to all for the warm welcome i have received from my Airborne brothers! I want to appolologize for my typing skills, and my inexperiance with blogs "I will improve" Today i received an email from a reader of Gunston Street who "I assume" is presently serving in Iraq, I would like to get your opinion of this soldiers veiw...... I would also like to add that i have searved in Iraq for 13 months boots on ground on a 6 man LRS team...It might just be me and my team, but one of the thing's that got us thru are deployment was the ability to laugh at our deadly situations? am I wrong?

userid = Baydo-Waydo
FirstLastName = Daniel Shields
Message = Unbelievable! (27Jan S&S strip) I’m glad you think that an
explosion going off next to a US Service member is funny. Come over
here and walk two feet in their shoes. Extremely tasteless. Your
strips usually aren’t funny, but they never pissed me off before. Of
course, I try not to read the "not funny" section of the paper. Have a nice
day!

| Eh, take the criticism with a grain of salt. See what General Order #1 does to people? No porn or booze and you end up bitching about the comic strips! Tell him you see humor in taking a dump too. Then tell him you served in Iraq while he was still in high school. Tell him you got the scare badges and medals to prove it and if he thinks he could do a better job at drawing a comic strip then by all means have a go at it! And call him a cherry! I would. You can't please everybody all the time. Just go see some of Mark Bakers stuff he had written about himself! My $5.05 worth. Of course, your mileage may vary!

Who the hell is Baydo-wado? Not a name I recall seeing on the forums contributing to conversation.
As Al said, take it with a grain of salt. Seems to me you earned the right to draw whatever the hell you want.

| I just thought you guys would like to see some of my leg feed back, here's the reply I gave for what its worth. I really cant lay into him to hard these worms send my replies to the Stars & Stripes, I told off some female CPT. once...I'd thought I'd never hear the end of it...It was pretty funny tho... Hello Mr. Shields I understand that you didn't enjoy my last strip. I believe you described it as "Extremely tasteless" "not funny" "Unbelievable" In general you don't enjoy it at all, you have a right to your opinion and I respect that. What i don't respect is your comment "Come over here and walk two feet in their shoes", I HAVE! AND I ASSURE YOU I WALKED A HELL OF ALLOT FARTHER THAN TWO !#$% FEET! I AM AN AIRBORNE INFANTRY PARATROOPER WHO SPENT 13 MONTHS! BOOTS ON GROUND! OUTSIDE THE WIRE! ON A 6 MAN LRS TEAM! Now look with that being said, I,. like you would be pretty pissed off if I thought some a!!hole that never served a day in his life was trying to capitalize on something as serious as our wars, I can assure you that is not the case! HUMOR WAS THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT OUR TEAM GOING! When we got hit with I.E.D's,R.P.G,s or ambushed or mortared,fire fight,whatever, did we have a chance to mourn our casualties, take a time out, rest, lick our wounds HELL NO! FINISH THE F!!KING MISSION! what helped us? dark humor. Do you think I make any money off this? this strip costs me money! I do it for you, me, the deployed. You can take away every possession, every luxury, everything an Infantryman has, but I'll be damned if they can take away our twisted view on life! Now as far as you not finding my work funny, hang in their. I'll make you laugh.... Sincerely Basil Zaviski
