"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. ;)

I was about 8 during Desert storm... Thanks for serving us! I was stationed @ Tabuk AB, KSA during the kickoff of the war (was there from Dec 2002 - July 2003) and was @ Kirkuk from April 04 - July 04. Was in Saudi (PSAB) just after Sep 11th, was at Langley AFB during Sep 11 and we were the first to deploy the jets to intercept the planes but unfortunally it was a bit too late. :( I pretty much lived in the sandbox... And I don't regret it one bit!
