I’m a disabled Air Force vet. Here’s why I’m glad I never joined the VFW
As an Air Force veteran who serviced aircraft that flew to Vietnam, I got to see a side of our military that most people don’t know about. I am talking about the backbreaking behind-the-scenes work that got our planes airborne and back again.
TL;DR
- The author is an Air Force veteran.
- The veteran serviced aircraft that flew to Vietnam.
- The article focuses on the behind-the-scenes work required to keep planes operational.
- This work involved significant physical effort ('backbreaking').
