I was in the U.S. Army in the first Gulf War (Desert Storm), and we had Iraqi SCUD missiles fired at us over and over again. I wouldn't be here today if we hadn't had a Patriot missile unit next to us, taking out the SCUD missiles. Man, I miss my Army days.

Countries do not have friends, only other countries where their mutual interests align. We call those mutual interests "alliances" and they can shift like the winds. Each decade can look vastly different from the last. Currently, Slovenia is aligned with some of our interests, and yes, we'll gladly defend them, but it has not been so in the past. As a BUFF and Beak pilot, I've dropped ordnance on enemies once considered allies alongside allies once considered enemies. It's an odd sensation when you hit the pickle button and you muse if someone you once shared a meal with might be beneath the ordinance falling from the bomb bay.

The Ma Duce is the most influential and one of the oldest still in use weapon systems in the world today. This weapon may not have a high firing rate compared to other personnel and squad weapons but it makes up for that in versatility and power. The US military has adapted The .50, as it’s called, in so many different situations and onto so many different vehicles, ships, and aircraft. It can punch through most armor plating and the sniper rifle variant is commonly used as an anti-material/ anti-light armor weapon system.

I grew up as an Air Force brat so I was very comfortable and knowledgeable about what was on the bases with us but after my junior year in high school my family had to move to Savannah, Georgia. My dad had already retired after 22 years in the Air Force and had started another career and that company needed him to run a new store that had just been built in Savannah. It was only a 3 hour drive from our previous home. There was a really big and notorious Army base in a town near Savannah but in Savannah itself was a “satellite” base that was an offshoot (I guess) of Ft. Stewart. We of course still had military privilege so I was on the base quite a bit doing shopping or going to the base pool. There was a back road that was a shortcut of sorts that I always used since it was only about 10 miles from my house. It was kind of an access road for the military convoys that were constantly moving between the 2 bases. But it was still a public road as well. I was used to the Air Force vehicles on base and obviously they couldn’t transport planes on the road on base but on army bases they frequently tow helicopters with big towing vehicles. The first time I accidentally ended up getting mixed in with a convoy I was in my little pickup truck driving between an Apache helicopter being towed and a line of tanks. I had never felt as small and insignificant as I did in that moment! My friends and I had made friends with some young airmen on base and we’d often go meet them at the barracks or at a store on base so we were there fairly often. …high school girls and a battalion of young 20 something guys… It happens! There was also a Ranger battalion that was stationed there so we got to personally know quite a few rangers (special forces) and would go with them to the flight line to see them off on their deployment to the Middle East. Thankfully even though they all participated in battles none of our really good friends were Kia! We understood that was obviously a possibility but we got lucky! I have the highest respect for all of our troops regardless of which branch they are in.

Not a comment about the U.S. Army and instead one about lake water temperature. I live on a 50,000 acre lake/reservoir in North Carolina. In the summer in coves that are around 20 feet deep or less the surface water temperature can be like a hot bath. Some decades ago a friend of mine from the suburbs of Chicago, where I used to live, visited me. We went water skiing and at the back/end/bottom of a cove he was finished skiing and dropped the rope. Almost instantly he was screaming for me to come pick him up. He kept saying "get me out of the water, get me out of the water." I thought he may have dropped in an area with a number of snakes, possibly cottonmouths but more likely harmless green water snakes. I headed back for him and he was yelling, "the water is burning me!" I got to him, he got in the water and he asked if there was a nearby chemical plant or something that might have had a spill because there was something in the water that was burning him. I couldn't help but laugh and tell him that's just the typical surface water temperature in the shallower parts of the lake.
