not exactly an intro, but an update
I felt I owed you all an explanation for why i haven't been on in a while well here goes on January 26 of 2007 while serving with 2 battalion 12 Infantry Regiment in Baghdad I was shot in the head by a insugent sniper. I've been through alot of therapy I had to relearn to walk. talk, read, write, and feed myself all over again it sucked but the though of getting back to combat with my brothers help me that much to keep me from giving up! , but i'm am all better if you want to know more here are some links

Thanks for your continued service. There are a lot of people out there who need the example you set every day that you keep fighting for your future.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
