Yeah, I'm a constant lurker and registered just to post this.. I'm surprised I missed the other mentionings of this subject. Just trying to get it to as many people as I can, I was (and am) still pretty pissed off about this. I served in OIF (Saudi and Iraq) and OEF, and I don't think this is something to make fun of.

I served in Operation Desert Shield/Storm. (Retired Army, E-7.) It was over before my unit needed to go to Iraq, so I'm grateful for that, though I did serve two years traveling all over the USA to teach other states how to set up, fund and man Family Assistance Centers.
I did get some nasty paper cuts and a lot of speeding tickets, though. ;)
