I'm a combat veteran of the 1st Gulf War. I served with Task Force 1-41 Infantry. I was assigned to the 2nd Armored Division(FWD) which was stationed at Garlstedt, Germany. I was also assigned to the 18th Airborne Corps being stationed at FT. Campbell, Kentucky. Naturally I am interested in military related topics. I have Slavic and German ancestry so I am especially interested in Russian/Soviet military topics as well as German and Chinese. I'm a former businessman as well. Currently I do security for a living.
