Like many others on this list, I had to sign up for Uncle Sam

to have to go. Sorry that he and 'W'easelboy's daddy snagged you into
the gulf-war as one of their experimental guinnea pigs. Hopefully you
won't get called back into part II of the Bush/Hussein family feud.
I'm sure that some of you will consider this off topic but I couldn't let this
pass unchallanged.
Unlike some of the people on this list, I didn't wait to be forced into the military
service. I volunteered five days after I graduated from high school. I also volunteered
for service in VietNam. In 1991 I was working for Martin Marietta on the AH-64 Apache
helicopter program (TADS/PNVS) and I volunteered for the Gulf War as a civilian contractor
supporting the US Army in it's forward bases. I'm sorry if you had to be forced
to sign up for "Uncle Screwge's draft" and feel that you were
"experimental guinnea pigs" but I saw what was happening in the middle east and
I felt that I and the rest of this country had to stand up and fight injustice and
terrorism and I dammed sure don't feel like a dummy for doing it!
