I served for 12 years in the Army. I intended to be a 30 year man, but my career was cut short in the first gulf war. I was medically discharged in '92. Since I was injured in '91 I have lived with constant pain and will eventually end up paralyzed. I do not regret having served but I am somewhat bitter about being discharged. I could no longer be involved in any real physical activity but I could have served at a desk somewhere. That is not the military's way and never has been and will never be and I understand that, but I still have a bit of a bitter feeling. If I were fit and not beyond the age limit I would volunteer again. I regret that I could not have finished my career.
