[hutchison101]

i am a combat vet from the army. i was just wondering if there were any vets on this forum. who knows maybe i served in the same theater as someone on this forum. if so what branch, unit, job, or any deployments.

i was at 101st airborne with 1/187 b co. "rakkasans"

i was a sergeant in a infantry unit.

i was deployed to Kosovo in 98' and Afghanistan in 01'

got out of the army and did 5 years in the WI National Guard. 8 years total service.

Thank you for your selfless and honorable service to our country.

I did Afghanistan 1978-79 before Afghanistan was cool. I'm sure it's different in the present conflict than it was when I was there many moons ago but I actually liked the place. Everybody had TB, it was a dusty cold place most of the time but it had a charm that I found intoxicating. I was in the Navy, and Afghanistan is a long way from blue water but such is the call to serve at times. I wrote the first article on the Taliban in 1985 for SAPRA-India (Strategic And Political Risk Assessment INDIA) that I know of. Again, that was before the Taliban were "cool".

There are a lot of veterans of small wars on the forum who enjoy FJ's.
