It's an open question and not likely to be answered since I'm past the age limit. I like to think that I have the stones. But, looking back, and seeing the shameful, disrespectful treatment that veterans of late (the years that I would have been involved) have received at the hands of our government, I am not envious. I have great respect for veterans and their sacrifice. And, I have no respect for the chicken hawk cowards that sent them to wars, nor the greedy war profiteers who've enriched themselves at everyone's expense.
How about you? Veteran?

To measure the size of the military is just a LITTLE more involved than counting the number of carriers. Probably the most common yard stick is troop count.
