Describe your most memorable military experience: In 1970, upon returning from Misawa Japan, after 21 months of direct support (F4C Aircraft) to Vietnam, I remember the love and hate I felt when I returned to the United States.  Those that had military brethren/experience treated me with respect, and those that did not, hated me. They didn't even know my name. But they hated me.  I learned from that experience.  I learned "never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups".
