I have not served however I wanted to show my respect for those of you who are and have... I have cousins in the AF/Army. Grandfather was in WWII (D-Day) & Korean War as a U-D-T... He was a diver. My other grandfather served in WWII as well and in the Panama Canal when it was under construction. I have ancestors that fought on both sides of the Civil War. My Wife does as well. Actually we both have relations back to the French & Indian War. My Dad was neglected for NAM because he was the only son. (Sullivan Act). My uncle who I was extremely close with was a P.O.W of NAM that had both his knees shot off by a sniper. Both were replaced but he NEVER spoke of it. He smoked because he refused to take the drugs the V.A. gave him for is PTSD. Was terrible for him...
It is my personal belief that if it was a Job requirement of our President to be Commander-In-Chief he/she SHOULD have some military service on their resume... Oldman you said it best Brother...
“It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.”

If they did they wouldn't be so quick to send you all to police the world. You have my respect and gratitude for your service.
