Don't fret. As one who served, I can tell you first hand that military service in the Clinton 90's had little to do with duty, honor, and country.

If you consider the fact that Commissioned Officers (as I was) are commissioned to act as the delegated authority of the Commander-in-Chief within the services, once the CiC disgraces himself, how can one not feel a bit tarnished as well?

I left honorably at the end of my service obligation in '95. I could no longer stand what the 'leadership' was doing to the Army I loved. I felt free to go on my way because I knew I had some decent job prospects on the outside and didn't have to sell my soul to stay in. In '99 I resigned my commission to take a Sergeant's job in the National Guard.

Thanks for your service then and now, chookter. Sorry x42 loused it up for you and everyone else. Still, if I would have gotten in at age 18 in 1986, I could have had a couple years under Uncle Ronnie. The problem back then was that my hardcore socialist father was convinced that RR was a madman bent on the destruction of the human race.
