Yes I agree with you Aberta's child. I guess my comment came across in a wrong way. I realize there is no greater love than the love shown by a man who lays down his own life for his friends. I definitely didn't mean his life was a waste I meant that it was a shame he lost his life. But he was doing what was important to him and to others. God Bless him as I said.
To: Gamecock
"Then he looked me in the eye and said, 'When the sun comes up we are going to kick some ass.' I will never forget his words or the look in his eye. He said it in a confident, matter-of-fact way. He was not boasting, it was resolve." Sounds to me like Rescorla had a bit of Captain Kilgore (Apocalypse Now) in him.
To: Canadian Outrage
Hey, I understood your first post. He was doing what had to be done. You are right, it is a waste, 6000 times over.

I'm currently reading Lt. Gen. Harold "Hal" Moore's book, and the name "Rescorla" immediately registered with me. What a shame that he should lose his life after so many near-death experiences in Vietnam. He was indeed a very brave man.
I highly recommend Moore's book, "We Were Soldiers Once . . . and Young."

Viet Nam, Rhodesia, Cyprus. I suspect that when death came to this man, he grinned.

When the sun comes up we are going to kick some ass.
This should be the mantra for the U.S. in it's hunt for the terrorists...as well as a FReeper mantra against 'peaceniks'.
Rest in Peace Rick
