Great stuff. Before I was in the military I could never understand all those old guys sitting at the VFW bar - most of them didn't serve in the same theater and some not even in the same war, but it was obvious they were sharing something no non-vet could quite understand. What the author details was at least part of that.

That's a powerful post and he's good at putting some dark and secret thoughts a lot of vets carry into words.

The feminist paradise that is currently America will shriek at this masterpiece of masculinity. This is very powerfully written and speaks to the core of the drives that men have to conquer, create, build and take risks.
Where most women seek security and avoid risk at almost any cost, men seek to conquer and build. It’s too bad for men that America is becoming a feminist nanny state.
