Tora - I feel that I made all of my accomplishments in the past and now I'm just a shell of the man I used to be. To be truthful, I miss only two things. I don't give a damn about press coverage, medals, power, and younger women. What I miss terribly is working with small children and the adrenalin rush of developing a target, pushing it through ops or ODA, and then going on the mission to collect items of intelligence value. Or in the civilian world building a case, executing a search warrant, and busting a meth lab. Let alone years ago working undercover and buying crack

So to sum it up, is it better to worry about reaching your goals and potential or to face the fact that everything is over for you and nothing will ever come close to what you loved?
