00 Introduction to the podcast‪.‬ Don't play with things that go boom!

    • Society & Culture

About a half century ago, there was a war on the other side of the planet. My country needed men to fight that war, so the politicians looked around and there we were -- the Baby Boomers.

Some volunteered but most were drafted.

Even though fighting in a war had not been big on our list of things to do in life, a lot of us got to experience it.

And there were lessons to be learned. Lots and lots of lessons.

That's what this podcast is about ... the lessons I learned about a half century ago while serving in the United States Army.
