The military, or at least when I served, will have an effect upon a person. In 1968 I was so far rightwing that I was working on the George Wallace campaign and a year later I enlisted in the Army during the Vietnam War. Eight years later I was voting for Jimmy Carter, that's the truth.
Have you noticed that many of the Vietnam era veterans turned into hippies, and those who were once hippies turned into the businessmen and the draft dodgers turned into the politicians. Everyone comes full circle, and that's what we have running this war now. God help those who don't see Bush has made a mess over there and left our troops out to dry.
