Thanks for the reply Laurita. I love talking to soldiers. I have the utmost respect for them and find them very interesting. you get to hear the real deal and not the crap the MSM force feeds you every night. I recently spent 5 hours on a flight to Vegas with a 20 yr old Marine on leave from Iraq. he was on his way to a funeral for one of his buddies who got shot up. sad story. He rides on top of Hummers manning the gun. said he has been shot 4 times. he had his hand wrapped up. he unwrapped it and showed me how his thumb was sewn back on after being shot off. I tell you the stories this guy told me had me enthralled for the whole 5 hours. it was a red eye and I think he had the whole back of the plane listening to us all night. He actually loved his job and couldn't wait to get back believe it or not. he said he missed his buddies. I guess he has a true band of brothers.

"I guess he has a true band of brothers." Don't forget his sisters . . . It seems both sides of the ocean aren't used to getting the straight scoop. I was getting so depressed hearing about how we were fighting the "wrong war" and "needed help" - from those cheese-eating, surrender monkeys, no less!!! If it ever comes down to US needing THEM just look in a mirror and check yourself for the mark of the beast, 'cause judgment day has arrived. But my dad sent me this'a way and now I don't feel so bad.
