I think there is coming a time when we will all have to make a choice, whether individual western governments can make that choice or not, whether they decide they can buck political "realities", WE each INDIVIDUALY have to make a choice on which side we fight.

I have personally made that choice, I have taken an Oath and it goes beyond my nations boarders. My Oath goes and always has gone to the People, those are the ones I serve, under the grace of God.

Whatever nation, group or Brotherhood defends those beliefs that I have sworn to, that I hold dear, I will fight with.

I appreciate your opinion. I wasn't going to tell you what to do, but I think I would feel better if I did.

I would stay home and fight terrorist for my own family. I would help defend Israel, if they needed my help. But I don't think they need my help. They need my support and I give them that.

I am just more willing to be here for my own family. They may need me one day.

But that is me and you have the free will to do as you wish.

One more piece of advice that I got from my Drill Sergent (and he got it from General Patton): No dumb bastard ever won a war by fighting and dieing for his country. You fight and make the other dumb bastard die for his.

And I will add, I served but never had to do battle. Trained for it but never had the chance. The folks I talked to all say that they fought for their brothers. Their brother is the man in the foxhole. No matter what battlefield you will be on, you will always fight for your brother.

God Bless and good luck.
And remember this:a warrior lives to fight another day.
