Seems as if the most warlike are those who never served. Of course, I could be wrong....
Ronin..I think I get your point, but I am not sure.

When Desert Storm stared, I went to sign up, now, I had a good job, been to college and a nice home & Porsche. I was diagnosed with asthma, I hadn't had it as a child, I grew into it in my mid Y's, so I was rejected. I tried to join the reserves for this conflict, but the medical condition kept me out, that and I'll be 40 this year. Now I'm making a lot more money than I was in 1990, but my union democrat father taught me right from wrong. Many of my closest friends serve/served this country, many made it their career, from W.W.II, Korea, Nam on, that is were I get my impute from, some enlisted to a retired Pentagon Col. From single hitches to 40 years, those are the people I listen too. From people who have been there, up front, on the stage, those are the people I listen too. One of my best friends, a retired officer, has joined the reserves BTW, thanks for your service in the CG.
