I'm pushing 60, and remember watching the names of soldiers who died in Vietnam scrolling on the black and white TV at the end of the national news. It wasn't too long ago that we saw color photographs at the end of the news of US soldiers who died in Afghanistan and Iraq.
History will look fondly on the Trump years - all eight of them.
Exactly, I had aspirations of being an officer when I was young. But my teenage years were under the reign of slick Willy. The more I looked the more I was sickened. I would never lend my talents or order anyone to follow along with traitors at the helm. I could see the writing on the wall already with what they did to MacArthur. It was a spiral down from there.

Communist shills, corrupt Politicians, warmongering dogs, the filth and rot that was allowed to rule for too many years. There was a time when a kingdom/king had to earn the trust and support of it's generals. Blind "duty" does not serve the benefit of the nation, only the rulers...
Still at this time, I hope that the ones who held out and endured, finally can rally around someone worthy of the "commander in chief". That they can finally get justice for all the horrible wars they were forced to fight. The swamp can't clean itself. They are the last ones left with enough power that can purge this infestation...
I did 28 years in the Army started when the Soviets were still kind of a thing, left after my 3rd deployment to Afghanistan after my best friend from high school, another lifer but a Marine, bought the farm. I damn near caught a conduct unbecoming when OEF launched and I called into question the historical fallacy of occupation of an area that not even Genghis Khan could take nor the Russians and their total war approach. And I did so in private with utmost discretion (never question a superior in front of enlisted). And from then on, especially after Tillman, the bullshit piled up so fast you needed a mining excavator to keep at neck depth.

I can remember watching CBS as the US Army shelled some hill in Vietnam as "proof we still support our allies in Vietnam" as a very young kid
Now we have generals and admirals subverting the CINC's orders just to keep the war machine rolling in more foreign wars.
My family service to this great Republic stretches back to before it was even a nation but now I tell my own kids to never serve, ever.
I am going to listen to some old Sabbath today
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Might want to add Steppenwolf's "Monster" to that playlist.
