I got out in '72 and y service wasn't hollow ... but the effectiveness of the military was in the process of being gutted by that time.

Don’t know what branch you were in Joe, but the army was messed up in the early to mid 70s. In Korea we had race riots, black NCOs assaulting white officers, etc. It was ridiculous.

If you served in the '70s as I did, you'd know exactly what the General was talking about. Reagan was a breathe of fresh air when he came in and we started ramping up again. It was a damn good thing the Soviets never tried anything while Carter was in office.
