This post is dedicated to 'need one'. Today I was interviewed by the local ABC affiliate about my son's being on active duty. The reporter mentioned that I had served in the Air Force for four years in the 1950's. Thinking about it later, it struck me that my perspective on the war in Iraq is almost the same as a Civil War veteran would have had at the time of World War I. Scary, ain't it?

Yep, sure is. In more ways than one.

Paul39,
Yes it is scary when you start thinking about it, I think I have accepted the facts about myself but I still have the dreams and thoughts. What is even more scary for me is seeing the Marines on TV still yet doing some of the same things we did over 30 years ago, even with so much of the modern equipment they now have.
