I was in the Air Force when it turned 25. That was 1972, the first year 18 year-olds were allowed to vote. As an 18 year-old I proudly cast my vote for George McGovern. How things change! The AF was a screwed up organization but at least it got the job done. An 18 year-old turns 30 in 1984 when RR runs for reelection. Most of us become who we are by age 30 but the baby boomers as a whole didn’t change much. Disturbing.
Me and most of my fellow VN combat vets who I knew voted for Nixon in 1972.
