Warriors the film. A tribute to the American fighting men & women.
« on: September 12, 2008, 09:50:41 AM »
This was sent to me by a very good friend that I owe a lot to.  In light of the seventh anniversary of 9/11 and the ongoing war on terrorism, I found this film to really hit home for me personally.  I'm truly at a loss for words.

I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.

In the end you should be thankful for those players like us who switch to try and help keep things even because our willingness to do so, helps a more selfish, I want it my way player, get to fly his latewar uber ride.

All gave some, some gave all.

Those folks, warriors, understand what this quote really means.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made so and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

John Stuart Mill (1806-1873)
 
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."
