No, I didn’t serve. So fucking what? Neither did Trump and he’s got more guts than anyone. |

I didn't serve. I guess I let a somewhat negative experience color my perception of what the military would be all about, but when I got on up in my 30s I wished I had just taken a different path to service. I've had tons of family and friends who served, at every level from National Guard grunt to Navy SEAL officer and Air Force intelligence officer and AF test pilot. One of my local friends is a retired command sergeant major and another is a retired one star general. I haven't talked to all of them in the last few months, but the ones I have talked to are fully in favor of blasting Iran into oblivion, even if it requires boots on the ground to some degree, and they all think it will come to that. They're all mid to late 50s like me and wouldn't be the tip of the spear, but would definitely go if a bad enough emergency happened that required their service. Like you, I'll fight any sumbitch who shows up over here, and fully expect that to happen. I'm just surprised it hasn't happened already. I've been looking for it to happen ever since 9/11 at least. I'm just a late middle age fat boy who can't do a lot, but I'm a pretty fair hand with a rifle and maybe I can just take out 10-15 of them before they get me.
