| #12 I think the comment someone in here made a few years ago sums it all up best with regard to trolls and their ilk: "The trouble with the internet is that the village idiot doesn't stay in his own village anymore.." On Memorial Day remember that a soldier in combat lives in conditions over which a homeless person could sue a city. We have lived in mudholes without sleep, slept in ditches, eaten C-rations, wet our pants in fear and twitched in our sleep, shared our last stick of gum or our last cup of coffee, administered first aid to an enemy that was trying to kill us a few seconds before and prayed without ceasing under enemy artillery. No one, and I repeat NO ONE has any idea what it is like in combat unless you have been there. Movies, books and television never communicate the experience. |

| #9 "I've always known that Americans are (generally) a stupid people" Well, you'd certainly know stupid, Just-Ass - from the inside out. By the way, troll, how's living in a super-repressive country working out for ya'? Why don't you try writing things about your "leaders" even half as critical as what we write about ours? I'm sure no one would shortly be knocking at your Mama's |

| #6 To Fred, who gives us both a place to keep up to date on the current war, and for a place to gather among like-minded people who love this country, and to my brothers and sisters who serve, or have served, in harm's way, wherever -- may this be a time of reflection and re-dedication to the spirit that binds us together. Amen. |

| #5 I flew my plane by the military cemetery at Fort Richardson yesterday as we returned to base in Birchwood from a very nice time in Homer, Alaska. A silent prayer of thanks for all those down there that made it possible. We are truly humbled by their service and sacrifice. |

| #2 Right - thanks to all you who sacrificed and served for this great country! People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. -- George Orwell |
