Army was singing "Be...All that you can Be!" when I joined. I served 16 years, 25 days. 2 tours to Iraq and 1 to Afghanistan. So, there is no question I knew the answer. Lol. I am a proud Vet and have no regrets. I would do it all over again. HOO-AH!

Player #2302284, My sister served in the Marines stateside during the Vietnam war; my brother served in the Marines in Vietnam, was shot, & received a Purple Heart; my husband served in the Navy in Vietnam for 5 years, mostly on riverboats (brown water Navy-"river rat"), was a POW, was injured several times in different ways, received several medals-including Purple Heart, and is still dealing with his experiences there. God bless them all-and anyone else who served & is now serving.

Makes my heart swelling with all the patriotism expressed in the comments. My father-Navy, brother- Army, brother-Marines, husband-Navy, sister-in-law-Army. I wish the young-uns of today had this kind of patriotism.

My dad worked at the Pentagon (in the Army for 20yrs.) and now is in Arlington Cemetery. Pretty much facing the Pentagon. I thought that was cool.

Vermin, yes because the Coast Guard mainly protects the US Coast from drug cartels and pirates. And rarely ever has combat operations.

After watching "Saving Private Ryan," I felt relief. Serving my country was the least I could have done to honor those who did it for me! I did four years in the US Army.
