I joined the USAF in 1978 in hopes of seeing the world. I got my wish, Asia, Middle East Europe, Africa, Central and South America. I was able to meet people from different cultures, observe their way of life, political systems and learn their history. I also confirmed my belief that a good citizen has two choices when it comes to changing their current government. I strongly recommend using the ballot box as the first choice. Reason: If a sword is used to bring change in government you may not be able to go back to the ballot box again.
