Wow, truly amazing.

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.

That was outstanding work the part of all those folks who without hesitation stayed and did their job to save a soldier at the risk of their own lives.

I know that the Doctor said he didn't think it was heroic to do something like that one time in comparison the the soldiers that go out of the wire every day, but he is a hero as well as the rest of the team who saved that troop. I'd be happy to buy them drinks any time. to all of them and all of the troops in harms way.
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."
