“ Persian bards made me pick up arms under Jimmy carter.”

Same here.

[Alas Babylon!]

I was already in. I remember that Sunday in November, 1979. I was with some relatives watching the New England Patriots play the Buffalo Bills. I got up and excused myself when they broke into the news for the Hostage news.

“Where you going?” My sister asked.

“I said, “Back to the base. We’re at war.”

I drove the several hours back to Otis AFB and... No one was there... Well, except the normal weekend guys and alerts crews I went to the command post. They told they had no orders.

Jimmy Carter!
