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!
"The Washington Post is despicable"
I am struggling to come up with the right adjective for the people in the media who have allied themselves with the terrorists.
As Dennis Miller observes "To call them scum bags is an insult to bags filled with scum."
"...and we were the first to deploy the jets to intercept the planes but unfortunally it was a bit too late."
Man! That must've been something. I'll bet your base was hopping that day.
We ALL "mobilized" that day; civilians and military types. Too bad the left forgets the horror and importance of that day.
Nice chatting with you! We have a lot of military-types of all ages and stripes that post here. You'll fit right in. :)
