I have visited Marines in Walter Reed who had fingers blown off and serious burns to their legs and lower torso because they didn't throw a handgrenade back into the crowd from whence it came.

I was asked to visit one of these by Mr. Silverback, whom I've pinged above, and I tell ya - I was stricken when "Bones", the Marine buddy to the guy from Mr. Silverback's hometown, told me how the grenade was tossed into their vehicle but they didn't have anywhere to throw it because there were women and children and other innocent bystanders around their vehicle.

I admit that I had the thought, "You threw it in here, HERE - you deal with it" and would have tossed it back from whence it came.

But our Soldiers, Marines, Airman, Coasties, and Sailors are taught otherwise. They are taught not to bring combat actions to the feet of civilians.

From where to do we get men such as these? (sob)

P.S., I couldn't ping "Tonk" because I can't remember his whole moniker. Anyone seen him around lately?
