The comic “Old War Stories” initially went up without commentary. The following was added in April of 2014:
After Vietnam, there weren't a lot of guys in the Army with real combat experience. Eventually, in the 1980's, the “Grenada Raiders” were the guys with the most recent combat experience. The Vietnam guys were either getting out, or promoted so high in the food chain that they didn’t have a lot of daily, regular contact with the troops.
Then the Grenada Raiders got set aside by the Panama veterans, and then in 1991 it was the Gulf War vets, then Somalia guys. Each generation of soldiers had very different war stories and experiences, and their perceptions were shaped by the realities they had encountered. To them, that was what war was.
The young female soldier in the foxhole in Kuwait is Private June Ransom, who we've already met as Staff-Sergeant Ransom the former "psycho Drill Sergeant". This was her at a much younger, more innocent time. We'll get a chance to see her 1991 Gulf War story in an upcoming episode which will serve as a flashback.
