Dear Frogger.
Yes I served. Regular Army. Only two years. 1/81st. Spec 4 and Acting Jack.
It taught me quite a bit. Self Discipline. Tolerance. How to respect and relate to people from all walks of life- and work with them to get things done (we call that Esprit de Corps). Respect for tradition, sacrifice and superiors. Not to mention a much greater sense of history and a love for virtually all things European.
BTW I FULLY support the war in Iraq and it troubles me greatly that that so many on the left seem determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and have absolutely no sense of history or sacrifice.
To see things on this board like a picture of Hiroshima posted on Pearl Harbor Day is troubling- but then again I think the vast majority of we who served have learned to be tolerant of those who differ. So I'm hoping you might want to remember that those who didn't serve have viewpoints that are just as valid and worthy as your own- and I will trust that your question did not imply that they don't.
