Settin’ here rememberin’ some of the old breed that I served with. Gunner Stamnitz, Top Williams, Sgt Mjrs Hagan and Gorham.
To me, they were the Eagle on the Globe and Anchor.

7 years, 3 months, and 16 days.
In as an O1, under Carter, and out as an O3 under Reagan.
I think that our Country would be a better place if every able-bodies and mentally fit citizen had to go through military basic training, as it would give more people exposure to people from other parts of the U.S. and it would give all of them a shared experience. The Swiss have a program that looks good to me.
People have told me that they knew that I must have been in the military when they saw that I keep my records in 3-ring binders. Agreed. There are too many entitled, whiney-assed, parasitic resource consumers that take the title "citizen" that have too much say and not enough stake in the country. Mandatory service would maybe balance that out a little and perhaps make them better citizens.

Never served, but my dad did. 20+years, first as EOD enlisted, then as an EOD officer. I believe they called that a mustang. He highly discouraged me from joining up, because he knew the military was morphing into the liberal machine it is today.

Depends...Tater Head says I stole a lot of valor but I remember doing a stint from 1988 to 2012 so opinions vary. Pretty sure my response is why old Burns no longer posts here. Sooner or later he will get ripped off the frame on Nyquil and make an appearance...It is like a moth to a flame.

Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

My father was in WWII. When he was old he lost track of time. I had to tell him, "You fought in WWII, your gun designs fought in Viet Nam."
His big money was design and manufacturing artillery for Detroit Arsenal (US ARMY). Rock Island Arsenal contracts were penny ante.
I have never won any design contracts directly from the US military. I would get sub sub contracts: USAF -> General Dynamics -> Teledyne -> who ever I was working for.
