Steady there Trigger...
 MANY of those Volunteered to go to Gernada, Kuwait, Iraq and die.
No disrespect to the previous generations, but do not think for a moment that Viet Nam was the last conflict.
Sure, I served 6 years and got out without seeing "Action" thank God. I went to Jodan and Egypt under peace, but during my last month was part of operation "Helping Hand" where we re-opened a pickled Air Force Base near the Gulf.... little did we know we were setting up for Desert Storm. I personally know men who saw action in those areas and have been changed forever. Mentally and physically. They know why we need guns in our homes.
A friend of mine watched helplessly as a fellow Airborne Paratrooper jumping into Gernada at night drowned in 3 feet of water because he was tangled in his parachute cords... I know another "Kid" who's respritory and nevous system is permanently damaged by the stuff Hussein had in the SCUD missles that our news channels later said never existed.
