I hacked it just fine.
Why did you choose the Army?

A number of reasons; they offered training in a field of my choosing was
probably the biggest one. At the time (1961), the other services did
not offer that choice. I also (naively) thought that my two semesters
of Army ROTC would help me more in the army than in any other service.
So I put in 22 years, got out, and went into software testing for
another dozen years (with a few years in computer sales between those
two professions).

One of my son's is in the Air Force. His Army ROTC got him an
immediate promotion after boot camp. Not much but a little bit.
I'm surprised the Navy didn't offer the same training.
The Navy is a whole lot more civilized way to go to war...LOL
My Navy service was from 12 June 1961 thru 11 June 1965 plus two years
in the inactive reserve.

I thank you for your service to our country.
I'm truly sorry you have become a liberal, but your service was good
for our country.

I really, truly don't understand what one's opinion on the war in Iraq
has to do with _any_ specific political views, be they liberal,
conservative, Democratic, Republican, what have you.

It doesn't, but those to whom politics is everything can't envision
anything else. It's the hammer syndrome: If all you have is a hammer,
all problems look like a nail.
