Uniformed service is not the only way to serve your country.
I happen to be (as Old Sarge knows) both a Reserve Major as well as a DOD contractor. I provided a vital service to the US Army (leading up to and during the war) as a DOD contractor. In many cases, contractors are in the thick of things right smack dab in the middle of the combat zone. getting shot at as well as killed while providing support to the troops.
These functions are just as important as carrying a rifle, or pulling the lanyard on a field piece as they allow a soldier to take the fight to the enemy as opposed to doing paper work or logistics.
People may malign me for being "DOD contractor SCUM", but I know better. We bleed and die just like uniformed troops. We just don't get the recognition - but that's OK. Both the services as well as we know what we do, and how we help.
just a thought for you (tame) to consider.
Every little bit helps.
Thanks for the PING, Sir!
