Just "Hell yes!"

WTF is it with all the youngsters wanting hand-holding, mentoring, a virtual tour, and a coloring book.

I would not want to be on a team made of such non self motivating dependent characters.

Automatic disqualification for even thinking such crapola when I'm King.

My oft-stated sentiments exactly! I vote for Mike as King!!

I didn't know much about SF when the offer was made to me. I'd read the book, seen the movie, learned from two SF officers at the UofM's Army ROTC, as well as some SF troops from 11th and 20th, but I had NO real idea of what it took, or how you got there. All I knew is that I wanted it.
