I served in the USAF 11/75 - 7/79 in the wake of the Vietnam War. I was a Security Specialist and stood watch over Minuteman III nuclear Missiles my entire enlistment.
I became very active in politics with the democratic nomination of John Kerry and placed over 1,000 posts as coldwarvet. If you want to get an ideal where I am coming from you can read my posts over at http:/www.swiftvets.com.
It has become my passion to keep this generation of troops from experiencing the same mistreatments of my Vietnam era older brothers. Favorite Movie "We Were Soldiers"
