This is incredibly inspiring stuff. This man should be a role model for us all, let alone African-Americans.
Thanks for your service Mr. Jordan.

James is a hero, Michael is just an athlete who plays games for big bucks.

You saw a black man? I just saw an American, CSM Jordan (not Mr.).

I just checked the picture again and yes, Mr. Jordan appears to be a black man. LOL!

And if he were white would you added that to your comment or just let it go that he's an inspiration? Maybe it seems small but it speaks to the divide on our side.

I really couldn't be bothered with nitpicking about stuff like this, but IMHO Blacks need better role models than rappers and Jesse Jackson.

I believe there's a valid point here. Usually, when you see a picture of a black man on the front page of the paper or leading the news he's either a criminal or a poverty pimp, or someone debasing national culture for personal enrichment. Here's a guy who could live better than me or (I suspect) you off of being his brother's attendant; instead, he risks his life for all of us, for one hell of a lot less money.

"We are currently at war," Jordan said yesterday before his unit started shipping out. "We are doing things, and it requires leaders to do certain things. That's what I am, a leader."

God bless Sgt. Major Jordan. Too bad the media won't cover this story of bravery and principle. I guess the media don't consider serving one's country more important than sticking your tongue out when you dunk.

And from now on, when I think of what an American family should be, the Jordan family will be in the top of my list.

The exceptions test (the original meaning of the word "prove") the rule. Balance these two against the hundreds of others that fit the categories I raised in my last post.
