Reply #19: I know the feeling. [View All]

I'm one of several others that know what you're feeling. We had to choose to serve in the military, refuse to go, or leave the country during '64-'72.

We had to make our choices dispite Kent State and the protester beatings during the Chicago Democratic Convention.

Personally, it was "FTA All the Way" until I was released from active duty. From then on it was opposition to the war until it ended with the fall of Saigon.

I wouldn't presume to know what would be your best option right now. If you have some skill to market, or can start your own business, you could leave the military. Otherwise, you should assess your military options. A talk with a chaplain might be considered.

Whatever you decision, I feel many on DU also thank you for your service to our country. We also wish the best for you.
