The nurse who prepped me for my upper GI scope yesterday has a son who is a Javalin Gunner in the 3rd Bde, 3 ID (Rock of the Marne) in Kuwait. He joined up right after 9/11 to "Defend his country". I told her I would keep Josh and his budies in my prayers.

We are going it alone, and that makes it easier than "allies" we can't trust. When this is over, all of those bastards who wouldn't committ need to be put on a list and not get a damned thing from us.

I don't believe we are "alone," though, admittedly, we will pretty much have the sole fighting force in the region - but we would have had that in any event. We are really the only country that can go anywhere on the planet and project power. But I think when this is finished, we should take serious account of who stood with us, and those who didn't.
