Military Members?

[TrainD5115]

I am proud of all the soldiers presently serving our country. Regardless of our political beliefs for its start, the men and women serving are among the finest you will ever meet. I saw one member bad mouthing the military and the camaraderie of service that comes with it. Speaking as a Gulf War veteran (90-91) with 5 years of active duty service and a 20% disability discharge, I feel confident to say that he is definitely in the minority. There is an unspoken closeness among military veterans, especially those who have been in combat together. I would love to see some of my old buddies from Germany (87-90) that I was stationed with. Those were some of the best times of my life. Seeing someone from Ft. Bragg and my last unit would be more difficult because of what it reminds me of. Everyone should know that the sacrifices soldiers make are great, and those who have suffered through the horrors of combat deserve our highest respect and support.

Have been shot at by people I was trying to help. I like to think that I helped more good people live than bad people die. Fly a desk now as a retention manager. Tough job in wartime.
