We have a large number of military families that attend our church (a lot of military housing in my area) and the funny thing is when they are at church I can't tell who are enlisted and who are civilians. Kind of strange when you find out you have been discussing the fine points of theology with an army Colonel.

I don't know if I would call it shame but it does feel a bit odd at times.

I am the youngest of three boys in my family, I was too young for Vietnam and too old for the middle east wars so I never served.
