Is this cool for history and what not? How's the subtitle? Any ideas for making it better?

I have enjoyed reading the thoughts and stories here, it's really a privilege for me as a civvie since I would not have this opportunity outside of a professional community such as this one. But also I understand that there are many things that the Men here would not care to share with the general public on an open forum...so there is a line as to what can/would be posted. Personally I'd love to see more stories or history discussions if appropriate. Briefback is a good title.

It's not that we don't care to share with the public, we also have to deal with the classified issues.

Thank you Team Sergeant, wrong choice of words on my part...that was my intended meaning.
A reminder to myself to post less when tired!

Of all the things that I read on this sight, the vivid stories posted here probably 'stick' the most. I think many other people appreciate the little bits of insight these stories give into the life and times of an SF soldier.
While traffic on this forum is low, I think it is excellent, if only as a place to keep those stories so that everyone has full access to them- there is no need to dig through files or search forums.
JMO,
Solid

I like it.
Still hoping to learn whether you ever shot that captain in Panama . . .

I refuse to answer on the grounds I may decide to run for public office in the future and this could be used against me.

When you're ready to run, I'll be your first contributor and volunteer.

This bunch would make for one hell of an election committee. I can see it now, "NDD For Congress, The People's Candidate" or "NDD: Bringing the Art of Unconventional Warfare to Washington"
