If you served honorably in uniform, you’ve already done more than almost anyone else walking around America. And one thing I learned in my time in uniform is that there is always some other individual, or unit out there that is tougher and more elite than you are. So have some humility.
Also, I’d be curious to know the percentage currently in who haven’t deployed. We have to be getting close to half on that, if not more.
