Think about it: the pay is shit, living conditions one (small) step up from camping, you get shot at, you have to shoot back and just when you think it's over you get sucked back in.I'm thankful for that, but I'm MORE thankful for them surviving.Every KIA is a cut into our country and a cut into me personally.I don't want any of us to die - especially young people who just got out of college or high school. A KIA is a future that has been stolen. A possible husband or father, a possible wife or mother, a possible good Samaritan that might help you, a possible scientist who might find the cure for a disease, a possible cop who would have stopped a murder. That life, when gone, will never be replaced.In the movie "Saving Private Ryan" the scene that had me crying was not the beginning, which shows the true horror of war, nor the end - but the part where the team has caught a German Soldier, and are deciding whether to hill him or not. Throughout the movie, Captain Miller has been very secretive of his past - and everyone in the group wonders what his civilian life was. During that tense moment, Miller finally shouts out what he did - a High School Teacher - to the group. It stops everyone in their tracks, and for me that was the most moving scene. Because those who fight - very few of them are professional soldiers. They're you and me, teachers, parents, doctors, mattress salesmen.So with that, let me thank you all - not just for serving, but for surviving.

Remember, this is DUmmy Taverner, a raving addict. The only vets he appreciates are the few who become drug dealers.
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
Dear Taverner:**** you. That is all.
Taverner I don't want any of us to die - especially young people who just got out of college or high school. A KIA is a future that has been stolen. A possible husband or father, a possible wife or mother, a possible good Samaritan that might help you, a possible scientist who might find the cure for a disease, a possible cop who would have stopped a murder. That life, when gone, will never be replaced.
In the movie "Saving Private Ryan" ...
Really?

And the H5, Reb.
