Bravery without bounds can show at any time at any time. Yes indeed these three young men and any like them can be/should be considered protector of USA lives as in any combat situation.

Patton once said that a military officer should be able to deliver a 15 minute profanity-laced rant without repeating one single profanity.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...hope you’ve had some good rest this weekend.
How’s the pain doing? Getting under control? Helped by the back brace?
In the 60s here, but VERY overcast all day.

“Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.”
Of all the quotes that is my favorite. It applies to all kinds of situations beside war.

Good evening, Brother! Sorry I failed to call this afternoon. I didn't even get up until 1400 hours. Very fatigued today. Woke up Friday morning with a pinched nerve - upper left back. It has partially abated but is still a problem. Pulled muscle lower abdomen is diminished but still painful.
Hope things are going well with you!

Hot, humid — and unchanging. The festival is wonderful. One more week to go.

Good evening, yarddog...excellent quote! And you are so right, it applies to all kinds of situations.
I have always told those I am teaching that this is how I do it. If you can get the same result via a different/easier route, go for it.

I'm sure he could. I know my DI at Field Med School had an impressive array of epithets. Many I never heard before and have never heard since!

Exactly, of course every now and then you get a guy you just have to show them how or you will get a disaster.
I think the key is knowing “who” to not just tell them to do it, and they are actually few in number.
