Big Buck - Cool shit man. I respect any of the armed services. Some could give me shit less for the military. These are the people that don't understand the commitment that all the services have for protecting the country. I was Air Force and proud of the work I did. And if you think I had an easy life, then I would have welcomed your presence when I was hanging off the leading edge of a C-5 at 3 am in a 33 degree rain splicing wires with frozen hands so this plane could make it's 7 am launch window. It didn't matter what the mission was or what it was carrying. It was important and I did it for my country. Some people just don't understand that.
Sorry for the tangent. Buck, again, cool post.
"A warrior craves not war. He desires peace above all else, but trains endlessly for battle." I wish I could remember the exact quote and who said it.
