You do us all proud VOR. The true definition of bravery is facing your fears not the lack of them.

Stay safe, we need your kind around here.

Well written, well said.

Your on my thoughts and prayers, and watch yourself over there, God Speed.
"So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
Trouble no one about their religion;
respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours.
Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life." - Chief Tecumseh

While I sincerely wish the situation were different and you did not have to go 'over there', I have a deep admiration for those who answer the call and serve their country.

It's men like you who make this great country what it is today.  I salute you and wish you Godspeed.

Keep your head down and come home safe.
Do not attribute to malice what can be easily explained by incompetence, fear, ignorance or stupidity, because there are millions more garden variety idiots walking around in the world than there are blackhearted Machiavellis.

Do what you have to and come back in one piece.

Good luck VOR.

Good post; thanks for your perspective and thanks for your service.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

As long as I live, it is my mission to save my kids from having to deal with the troubles we have. One way or another...whatever it takes. As long as I live, it is my mission to give them an adult life without suicide bombers, head hackers, and "soldiers" that "make no distinction between uniformed and non-uniformed American enemies".


Sir, this tells me you know why you are going, and despite your understandable unease at placing yourself in that dangerous place, you have the honor and integrity to do the job you must do.

You are perhaps one of the bravest people I've met on-line.

Do the job and come home safe. Our country, our culture need men like you.

Thank you.
Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
