These kids today take no pride in their work. We need a good war to ship 'em off to when they screw up too much.

No smiley? This isn't funny under any cirstumstances. Only someone who hasn't been "shipped off to a 'good' war could make such an asinine statement.

I should have put a smiley on there. My "grumpy old man" attitude should have been evident from my "these kids today" comment, but I should have been more explicit.

OLD REGGIE,truer words were never spoken(well at least hardly ever,since I haven't heard everything I can't speak for everything).

I saw "We Were Soldiers" over the weekend. It brought back all the pain. It also reminded me of why I have such a visceral reaction to our government so very often. Soothing Dave I know you did not mean what you said but,please don't ever even think it let alone say it.

I have said before and I believe that the "truth will set you free."With that in mind go see that movie.Since I was one of those wives,lived with those families for 6 years,knew the men who fought there and was immersed in the military life,I can attest to the veracity of that movie. It was in Viet Namm that my husband lost his life,my brother his faith and my best friend his mind. And listen carefully for the last lines--von Clausiwitz--chilling. That is why it is so imprtant to save Christianity,there is no other way.
