Free Republic Military?

Posted on 05/16/2005 8:38:26 AM PDT by Guard Dog

I just read a post on conservative blog that stated few freepers were veterans (implication was that we were chicken hawks). Having conversed with many of you and met a few, I do not believe that is the case. But it did get me wondering, who among us is active or prior service veterans? Awright you freeper vets SOUND OFF!

Oh no, not one of those evil religious people who believe in good morals and family values. You're going to be the ruination of our wonderful liberal/socialist country. /sarcasm off

The Navy hired me right out of school and gave me a draft deferrment.

I resigned when they transferred me back to DC.
