#1 Everything living within 25 kilometers of the crash site should be pulled out of their hidey holes and immediately slain.

#2 ALCON - We just returned from the Ramp Ceremony for the fallen. We stood at Attention and saluted as the pall bearers took 9 flag draped caskets from the back of 9 MRAP's and carried them into the waiting C-17. Hero's all. 5 Of the Warriors were from my Brigade, 2 from my Task force. I knew the 2 from my TF, Great Americans and Cavalrymen extraordinaire they were. They both died doing what they loved for a Country they dearly loved. They should be home in a day or so, please keep their families in your Prayers. God has a special place in Heaven for Cavalrymen, and these two will sit on thrones adjacent to our Creator. A time to live, a time to die; a time for war, a time for peace.

Towards the Greater Good, I remain

Your Affectionate Servant,

Bodyguard

Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan 9/21/2010
