...apparently in one piece and with little or no emotional scarring from the experience. I'm so grateful that he was spared all the unpleasantries of war.

Being in the Navy (as you are) in the Gulf is a much different thing than being in the Army or Marines in Iraq. You are much less likely to be attacked/injured/killed in the Navy. So consequently, Navy people do not mind going over there nearly as much as Army people, as you well know. I feel that you're belittling the danger Army/Marine personnel put themselves in by saying you don't mind going over there, implying that they should be okay with it as well.

Really? I didn't think Stan was implying that at all. I thought he was very simply saying he would be willing to go over there -- no reflection on the ones who are currently there or who do/do not want to go there.
I don't see how you are reading all of that into that. (maybe it is a guy thing)
