I had a few guys that got "shot at" by 2 INS from 500 meters away (with AKs, max effective range of what? 400m?) and these kids are walking around with their chests poked out! When I think about the guys I respect the most, some I've met and some I've only read about, two of the words used most often are quiet and humble. What a shame that more of our young men don't have a better understanding of true courage and spirit.
Please don't misunderstand me, I certainly fall into this category more often than I like to admit. But what's happened to us?
Sorry for venting...

Quit snivelling.
