I'm a veteran as well. 6 years in the US Navy: 1987 through 1993.
I served during Gulf War I aboard the ship that fired the second shots of
the war (although the press got it wrong by about 20 minutes and reported
them as the first shots) and was the US force closest to Kuwait the day it
was invaded by Iraq. We were 75 miles of its coast.
I remember being woken up at an ungodly hour of the morning that day by
the ship going to General Quarters and working in the guts of the broken
missile launcher that was the ship's long range air defense repairing it
while some hundreds of planes of unknown intent were flying south towards
us the next day (after having been woken up by another call to General
Quarters that morning).
Now go to hell.
