    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    Semper Fi to all of them and your Daughter @NotaSuv , The Salior, the Soldiers and the Marines. They all know what it means. It's more than simply Always Faithful!

    There was a better way!

    Yes there was. I salute the courage and leadership of the Marine LtCol. that put all his cards on the table and played a very bad hand seeking senior leadership to accept responsibility for this mess that got 14 of our bravest killed. He is an example of the kind of leadership we really need.Those fallen heroes deserved better.

    My God bless them and their families now and forever...

    My thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and families of our BRAVE soldiers that were taken by those terrorists. My thoughts and prayers also go out to ALL our service members that continue to,or have in the past,put their lives on the line for the rest of us. I still LOVE my country! Please continue to pray for these TRUE heroes.
