From 1983 to 1989, Professor Roth served in the 69th Infantry Regiment of the New York Army National Guard. He enlisted as a private, was promoted to corporal, and, after graduating from the Empire State Military Academy, was commissioned a second lieutenant. He then served as a platoon leader in Company A, as well as chemical officer and mobilization officer. To paraphrase Edward Gibbon, the officer in the National Guard has not been useless to the military historian.
