With a lottery number of 2, I enlisted in the Army for 4years rather than be drafted for 2 years. After service in Korea, Vietnam and Okinawa I returned to America. I then served in the Army Reserve.
I STILL choose to serve as a soldier the State Guard. BTW, as a member of the State Guard, I serve without pay unless called to duty by the Governor or Adjutant General of the National Guard.
This may provide an insight to my conservative attitudes concerning my Country and the Constitution.
