Holy Shit! That was a monster of a blog.
maybe we should bring a printout of that one to work.
I guess he's still sold on the Stryker too. I would definitely buy this cat a beer or twenty.

It's incredible what these young soldiers have experienced. Life will never be the same for them again. Thanks for posting this eye-opener.

Seriously, I think y'all should go over to his blog, read it constantly, and give him some good, solid comments. He deserves them more than I.

I registered and left him a comment.  I'll add his blog link to my 'favorites'.


Lonesome's probably going to Balad or Kikurk next spring.  I know he wants to do....he just wants to do his job.  You guys know all about that, I'm sure.  He wants to do what he was trained to do in a real world, real time situation.  I can't blame him. 


(in case you didn't know, he's security forces - about the closest thing to infantry the AF has.  ABGD and all that jazz)
