I did ten years in the US Air Force. I participated in the first gulf war in the 1990-1992 time frame. I'm maybe a little to the right regarding national defense although far-left socially. I'm definitely not one of those gung-ho guys who feels the need to broadcast his/her military service with bumper stickers or T-shirts. I can tell you though that everyone of us I've known or met are proud of our service. I've never known a single one of us who was resentful of what we were asked to do. Not to say that they're aren't any but I've never known one.


You mean people in the military are not resentful when they are sent into harm's way frivolously, or under false pretenses?

No. But nobody I served with from 1985 - 1995 that I ever met felt that they were put in harm's way frivolously, or under false pretenses. I didn't serve under Bush-Lite. I may have felt very differently had I done so. I voted for Reagan, the elder Bush and Bill Clinton so I never served under a President who I didn't trust.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
