I'm a veteran as well. 6 years in the US Navy: 1987 through 1993.

I served during Gulf War I aboard the ship that fired the second shots of 
the war (although the press got it wrong by about 20 minutes and reported 
them as the first shots) and was the US force closest to Kuwait the day it 
was invaded by Iraq. We were 75 miles of its coast.

I remember being woken up at an ungodly hour of the morning that day by 
the ship going to General Quarters and working in the guts of the broken 
missile launcher that was the ship's long range air defense repairing it 
while some hundreds of planes of unknown intent were flying south towards 
us the next day (after having been woken up by another call to General 
Quarters that morning).

Now go to hell.
