The president is our boss, we support him. He doesn't make these type of calls and he can't do anything about it.
War wise, it was the Gulf, but I saw no action in the 1 week at camp, It was at an MP camp. I think in 95, as they were closing it up. To be in SRT you start off as an MP, and move up the ranks.
I have been to cuba, all over South America, panama, I can't even remotely recall all the places. I really didn't do all that much, but I saw and did enough that it f'ed me up.
Really, right up until I met Kristin, I was still really jacked up. Not that it's all clear now but I have control over it. I'm still very careful about adrenaline rushes as they can.. make me black out, and some news stories still get me.
I hate to see Vets get denied for medical help, forced to pay when they can't work, and being pushed out the military early so they don't have to give up benefits (before 2 years, no help people).. We should all support, donate to vet orgs and if you get a chance stand up fight for one, they did it for you.
