Bless you for your service to our free republic, Sir.
I would gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
We would have died for Reagan without question because we KNEW he was right about slaying the Soviet bear once and for all - a comfort our modern troops don't have thanks to the MSM and Bush's vagueness regarding radical Islam. Reagan and Casper Weinberger (Secretary of Defense) ditched many appointments to speak to us and it was duly noted and appreciated. These boys and girls asked to "fight terrorism" while being constrained from accomplishing anything tangible for the sake of appearances and political correctness...that's just wrong.
Turn them loose and let them win.
