I just read a post on conservative blog that stated few freepers were veterans (implication was that we were chicken hawks). Having conversed with many of you and met a few, I do not believe that is the case. But it did get me wondering, who among us is active or prior service veterans? Awright you freeper vets SOUND OFF!

Even though Somalia wasn't considered a war I count it. If people are shooting at you, it's a war.........

I'll reply for Sgt. AQGeiger, who lurks only. He's been in the 82nd Airborne Division from 2001-present. He's also been to Iraq twice.
There's probably more military veterans posting or lurking at FR than there are total non-troll posters on DU.
