52. He didn't say he was against the military.

Edited on Wed Dec-28-05 09:36 AM by tblue37

He joined the Reserves to get money for college. He was in Gulf War I (and got TB from it, since he was a medic and worked with refugees during that war).

This time, his skills and education (a different skill set) got him sent to work at the Oil Ministry. A Reserve soldier with his skills does not expect to be riding shotgun on convoy in the frontlines of a battle zone. Everyone is frontline infantry to this administration. Car mechanics, truck drivers, cooks, supply agents, chaplains--everyone. Even sailors are pulled in off ships to walk the front line in the desert with a gun.
