To the commenter who spouted that there is one combat veteran for every 15 service members: that generalization is misleading. It overlooks National Guard and Reserve members. Guard and Reserves who served during the Vietnam era later deployed in conflicts such as the Persian Gulf War and other operations. World War II and Korean War veterans also served in the Guard and Reserves during the Vietnam era. When I meet a Guard, Reserve or any veteran I avoid stereotyping their service. Thank you for your service.
