I'm pretty sure the military was still a thing in the 80s...

Posted by IrishStephen (aka Sceire) Jul 22 '17, 18:35

I mean, they may have restarted it all just so that I could have a chance to serve in the 90s, but that sounds a bit far fetched.

I assume I missed a tweet or something... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 22, 19:19 13

      - Ah cool, I was born in 1969 and I served in the Army. Holy Balls -- nm - Bacon Jul 22, 20:05 9
        
        Wait, you were born in 1969? - ty97 Jul 22, 20:21 5
        
        I am 48 fucking years old. I think because I didn't have kids I stayed mentally in my thirties -- nm - Bacon Jul 22, 20:22 4
        
        Were you afraid the Jerries and Krouts would kill you? -- nm - Mop Jul 22, 21:14
        
        FWIW, of the five cousins I grew up next door (effectively my five additional siblings) the oldest was also born in 1969 - ty97 Jul 22, 21:02
        
        A year older than my daughter :/ -- nm - Meg Jul 22, 20:36 1
        
        Wow -- nm - Bacon Jul 22, 20:36
        
        My guess is what he meant was. There was no draft that I dodged like the Commander in Chief did. -- nm - Bacon Jul 22, 20:08 2
        
        Let's not even try to rationalize that tweet, it does not deserve it. -- nm - ty97 Jul 22, 20:22 1
        
        Right. I don't even know what the context was (the question that prompted that response), it's a stupid thing to say. -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 22, 21:26
It's a Hall of Fame Trump admin quote for sure, which is saying something. -- nm - ty97 Jul 22, 18:51
I dunno. It's not like we had a Cold War going on or anything. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jul 22, 18:45
Nah, they just rounded up a bunch of new recruits and shipped them off to Desert Storm. -- nm - Meg Jul 22, 18:43
you forgot Lt. Col. Ollie North :))))) -- nm - peglegpete Jul 22, 18:38
I can say with 100 certainty there was military in the 80s -- nm - Bacon Jul 22, 18:37
Yeah, that seemed like some grade-wtf BS -- nm - Beryllium Jul 22, 18:36
