I was a member of STARC in CO during the activation for Desert Storm. The units we activated were combat support types. It was a common thing that there was a core of people in the units that were Vietnam Veterans.

I will never demean any of those that served in Desert Storm, whether they were in the Regular Army or part of the NG or Reserve. All performed admiralby. They made America proud!

I was a grunt in Vietnam and the diference between the two wars was unreal to me. 1 yr = 90%+ casualties for my company. Desert Storm = 180 KIA out of 500,000 in 2 months.

Bottom line is... I have complete confidense in our active and reserve military people.

Correct, the front line troops, USMC, USA and Air Force will serve us well, be they active, reserve or NG.
