Technically, it's possible to have served in Afghanistan as an E-1 Private and now be a Sergeant First Class. We've been there for 15 years, and we have no clue when we'll leave or what victory is. Which is interesting to think about, considering we seem to staggering towards another war in Syria. BTW, what's the deal with new Saudi Crown Prince? He'll need to do something to replace that oil money. Have you hugged a fracker today?
