A different kind of collateral damage.

I have a fraternity brother who left college his junior year, joined the Marines and went straight into the teeth of Desert Storm. He came back 18 mos. or so later, finished school, married a Miss South Carolina and is now president of a bank in Charlotte, NC.
To be fair, I had a lawschool classmate who was a Marine before I knew him, never saw combat and is in constant trouble with the Bar for starting physical altercations with opposing Counsel, including myself. He wears the burr haircut and the cheap military eyeglasses to Court and beats his girlfriend.
Go figure.
