Hi,
Not too far off, but not too right either.
Other than the technology that has changed a lot in the last four decades, the things I kind of disagree with:
reveres his commander in chief
Nope. That dude puts his pants on one leg at a time like everyone else. He gets the respect of position and office as long as he isn't disgracing both. It's the Army of the United States, not the Army of the President (although some in the late '60s and early '70s didn't seem to know this). There are a fair number of good people in the chain, there are also some fools and scoundrels, and that goes right to the top.
He's enough to drive the liberals nuts.
He's seen the price of war. If the conservatives want to fight and can't give him a good reason, he's going to be more "liberal" than any of those damned draft dodgers ever were.
Oh, and "when he comes home, he'll be on average 12 pounds lighter than when he left." Make that 40, and I started out at 175 and 6 foot even.
