Oh, I fully expect that upon completion of his service obligation, a movie deal will be forthcoming.:rolleyes:

Correct me if I am wrong but, wasn't "Band of Brothers" an HBO original? Maybe he will produce a new one for the present operational areas?

The more I think about this the more my mind wanders and comes to the conclusion that his enlistment, though maybe not a publicity stunt, was not necessarily done for the altruistic reasons that he stated during his interview.

Or am I just seeing conspiracies under every leaf and rock?

No, that was exactly my point. My upbringing and past choices were not rendered moot. That's why I was asking what should make this guy's past "meaningless?"

And actually, I didn't attend that school. I thought about clarifying that in the OP but I wasn't sure if anyone would read it that way in the first place. Furman was merely my host school. I attended a small Southern Baptist school up the road-- which is about as right leaning as you can get in some circles. We just drove down there for class, PT,....and maybe some frat parties. I can't speak to every single background in my class but I do know for a fact that a number of them came from plenty of money and high social status back wherever they hailed from. One of them is on his way to join your ranks...should be in the early stages of the Q right now.

I considered that as well early on. Who knows. It definitely would put an entirely different light on the whole thing.

Well...if he asks to be assigned to the Stryker Bde or the ISAF Staff we'll know he's a plant for Rolling Stone. :rolleyes:
