[Former Military Chick]

**update hero ping**

I noticed a lot of wonderful comments on this fine soldier that I did a search and found a photo, interview and several other articles regarding his injury in Iraq through today. Hope you enjoy them as well.

Then-Maj. Andrew Lourake talks with Army Staff Sgt. Daniel Metzdorf (center) and Army Sgt. Maurice Craft about their progress learning to use their prosthetic legs during physical therapy. Sergeant Metzdorf, an airborne infantryman, lost his leg when his fire team was ambushed while on patrol in Iraq.

Even in civies, soldiers just have a certain look about them. I used to think I had a thing for guys in uniform, but no, it goes deeper. Soldiers have something that transcends the uniform, and all other superficial things. There's a lot to be said for military bearing. I know they don't master it just so I'll have something good to look at, but sometimes... I think they do.
