Welcome Back
Enjoy the land of the big PX, A/C and cold beer.
Be on your toes the next couple of weeks as you settle back into the stateside routine.

Worth repeating - too many guys are getting screwed up at home after surviving a combat tour. Keep the younger guys focused on a safe transition, they're the ones who tend to bite off more than they can chew. (Just what you needed - another leadership challenge  ) Welcome home.
__________________
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.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
