it's kinda funny. I come from a military background family, so that was a major influence on me. I joined at the age of 17 while I was a sophmore in highschool, and this was the time of the Persian Gulf War. Only problem was, they wouldn't let me go overseas until I graduated highschool.
By that time The Gulf War was over and Clinton soon took over. Military morale was at an all time low because he didn't support the miltary. He forced a "downsizing" of the military and was even offering money to troops if they decided to leave/ quit the service early. I remember one particular incident when some Marines greeted President Clinton and as he passed by they did an about face and turned their back on him, fuckin' halarious...
