Yes, my husband is pretty strong, with a long time serving in Ranger units, but being at CENTCOM for 3 years during 2005-8 almost broke his physical health. At times, he would rather have been out with the Rangers. But he knows the toll that takes and the asymmetrical warfare means you can’t ever relax.
Anyway, we all know what the media are and how they go with a narrative regardless of facts. (I read the UK Daily Mail and they printed a picture of General Petraeus and identified him as SSG Bales. I wrote to them and they took it down.). I know that your actions and Alas Babylon’s communications will tell the family that we other military families
recognize their sacrifice and they are not alone in this.
Kudos to you for Motivating the AP to print your experiences. It was great to see that out there early.
Thank you. I just hope it was enough.
