OT Yep ... Bush qualified as a shooter for border defense (fighter pilot) against Cuba, while Gore trained to shoot pictures in Nam. Bush served as a part-time trigger-puller; Gore served as a full-time REMF. I was on active duty during Desert Storm, but I was in Korea. I guess by your logic I dodged the desert. When I left active duty (92), the TNG was so full they couldn't take me. After two years of Clinton/Gore/Richards, the 49th G-1 - in person - tried to recruit me to fill a shortage. By that time, I had another life and turned it down. I've still kept my reserve commission as an Armor officer (and an active interest in military affairs) in case they really need me. Per SI Admin's note, which I just caught up to, this will be my last OT post about this stuff. Let's take it to PM if we want to continue. - Mitch
