Me too, with 5.5 years and a promising career when I tossed it in the
bucket over the war which I had already spent 18 months in. While still
in service I organized anti-war activities at MCAS Iwakuni, worked with
the Japanese peace movement and publish Semper Fi, and underground GI
paper that hung on for about 5 years.
It was not the troops who caused the war, and by the end a lot of them
wouldn't fight it, leaving Nixon with few options but to pull out.
