Then you have my age group from the Iraq war 2003-2010. At the height of the war the surge in 06-07 around 150k boots on the ground. That’s not counting all the support folks in Kuwait. An 18yr old who went off to fight in Iraq 2003 is now 37. An 18yr old who joined in 98 and went to Iraq in 2003 is now 42. Then you have that group that joined the Army or other branches in 1981- and up at 18 shipped off to Iraq in 03 who were dang near 40yrs old when they got to Iraq. That group of OIF 1 vets are 60 plus yrs old now. In some cases 65..
Yes as a whole my age group the things in the world were fairly quiet small deals or unspeakable deals. But desert Storm was the first bigger deal in some years
