| 2011-03-17 |
 Challenged by a congressman to "be honest" about how long American troops might have to fight in Afghanistan, Army Gen. David Petraeus revealed that he has a personal stake in ensuring that the U.S. war objectives are met -- his son, Stephen, whose recent combat tour was kept "very quiet."A family of heroes. We thank you all for your service and sacrifices. |

| #2 'Well" said the king, 'return to him and to them that sent you hither, and say to them that they send no more to me for any adventure that falleth, as long as my son is alive: and also say to them that they suffer him this day to win his spurs; for if God be pleased, I will this journey be his and the honour thereof, and to them that be about him.' - Quoted from Froissart's chronicle of the legendary episode during the Battle of Crecy in 1346 |

| #1 Petraeus' son is definitely a hero. Princess Diana's son was not allowed to serve because word got out. This in of itself is a big slap in the face of the TIS (Talibunny Un-intelligence Services). And I thought Allah knows all. |
