Well, you pushed a few of mine,and if you think I enjoyed sitting at home during the Vietnam conflict when my Dad was serving two tours of duty over there, and it took 10 days for a letter to arrive state-side from 'nam, and anxiously watching the news every night with its body counts and scenes of fire fights and wondering if the next picture that would flash on the screen would be the body of my father dead or wounded, think again.

AS I have stated repeatedly, I have nothing but respect for our individual soldiers, but the DOD and the higher up's in military command pull some pretty out there stunts at times.
