When you took your oath, did your oath contain any provisos putting a limit on how far away you could be sent from home to exercise your oath? Did the oath you took allow you to pick and choose to serve in only those conflicts you personally deemed worthy of your blood, sweat and tears?

"I, Centurion2000, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.''

No, I didn't think so.

Nope .... actually I would have been tickled pink to be one of the first Space Marines.

Maybe Burkeman1 had a special oath made up just for him.

In 68 we got a bunch of Nevada fangs sent to Osan to augment us. They were (to say the least) not happy, "We didn't sign up for this" To parapharse my flight chief 'Don't care.. life is full of disappointments, and this is one of them deal with it'.
