I spent 10 years on active duty after four years of ROTC preparing for my commission. I accepted a four year scholarship and committed to the Army in 1987, at the tail end of the Reagan administration. By the time I was commissioned in the spring of '91 GHWB was president and riding a wave of popularity after Desert Storm. Little did I know that within less than two years of going on active duty, I would be serving under Bubba Clinton. Never even heard of the guy before the spring of '92.
Soldiers have very little control over their commander in chief.

Sorry - replied to the wrong thread :-)
If my reply seems like a non sequitur, that's because it is!

I served under LBJ and Richard Nixon. Soldiers can no more pick out COs anymore than they can pick out family.
