I read this story last night and thought I would share this with all of you.

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.

RIP Sgt. Merlin German, stand down duty complete.  Semper Fi.   :salute

My prayers are with him.
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

I'd seen a number of stories before telling of his inspirational outlook. I was sorry to have heard that he died.  :(

 :salute Sgt. Merlin

I wish I could have met you.

Its men and women like him that suffered much and gave all for this country that makes me proud to support them where ever I go and whatever I do.

May God watch over his family and keep them; I know they will be in my thoughts as I pray.
