I think that was very uncalled for.  I'd appreciate it if you respected the theme of my thread and left your personal political feelings out of it.  I'd be happy to debate your point of view with you elsewhere.

Viking I'll try to make time to contact the Tennesseean tomorrow and see if a hi res copy is available.

Ok, I've done.

Liked it? Trust me, nobody likes being in a war, but some things are worth doing. If you disagree with that, fair enough, thats your right, but calling any serving forces member a murderer - way past the point of reasonable disagreement. Given english isnt your first language, I'm hoping you just had a poor choice of words.

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

Personally I think fortune has taken the most important man in that boy's world from him just when he is needed the most.

A more unfortunate set of circumstances than are pictured there is hard to imagine.


BlueDog the "fortunate" is in reference to having had the chance to learn what courage is by seeing it first hand (his father's). Just to spell out exactly what I mean by that, seeing as you seem so prone to misunderstanding: SSGT Golcdynski was on his second tour. He knew what he was up against and he was willing to take the risk to do a job that needed to be done. That's courage. When you run into someone who has it you see it in the way they live their lives every single minute your around them. And you can see the courage of the father in the face of the son - well maybe not you, but I can. If you think that I  consider the loss of SSGT Golczynski nothing of moment to his son you're wrong. But he's far better off to have had the time he did with his father than spending 20 years under the tutelage of a bagless drone.

That is a great picture. It shouldn't be politicized by either side.
