Ronald Reagan inspired me attend a service academy, from which I graduated in 1989.
I then served my obligation of 5 years and got out during the Clinton decimation of the military. His leadership inspired me to resign even my inactive reserve commission.
While in law school, 9/11 happened, and that inspired me to seek re-entry on active duty as a judge advocate.
I am a proud veteran of OEF.
I was throughly insulted personally, and on behalf of the troops I work with, by Senator Kerry's insulting cheapshot made at the expense of all who serve in the military.
I do not accept Senator Kerry's faux apology.
