Sorry. Sometimes I connect too hard. My intentions were good.
Everything's been very public for a while. Not like it's an OPSEC violation or anything. S.H.'s death pissed me off, along with the others. He lived close to me, even though I never knew him. Watched Combat Missions though.
I'm hoping for some armed contract work in '06. That could be me or anyone over there if things went bad. Just trying show what we're facing. That's reality. I think facing the worst will only make a person stronger.
What would S.H. say???
Would he want those pictures taken down??? I doubt it.
He'd probably say: "Hey guys, remember us and what happened to us. Don't forget..."
Yeah, it's hard to look at that. But you have to. It's reality...
The enemy we're facing will strap on 30 lbs of C-4 to make their point. What if they had something more powerful??? Facing the worst that can happen can only free you up for a more successful mission in the long run...
Am I right or am I wrong??? Hard to say. I would hope that the average person could feel my anger, loyalty, and patriotism. I'd rather take a bullet than have my team say I failed them.
My Father was a B-29 combat pilot in WW2. I was in the Army. You can bet the real U.S. Flag flew from our house. I could shoot, field strip, and reassemble a 1911 in less less a minute when I was 7 years old, (my Dad was cool.
)
I've attended two Veteran funerals in the last few years at Riverside National Cemetary, one of them was my Father.
On active duty I've served on burial details and fired blanks through M-16's at military funerals, so I understand the responsibility to the family and what military families feel like when a loved one dies.
Again, sorry if I went too far.
Regarding S.H., They say a man's not truly gone until he's forgotten...
On a more lighthearted note, I'm going to do some more pullups...
