X -- not suggesting experiences of military men in your family any different from any military men. I was speculating that you had no personal experience as a front line soldier. There's war stories and there's war. There are crime items on the 11 o'clock news that you see every night -- NOT the same as three of four young brutes in the living room breaking everything, kicking you mom and looking over your little sister.

Meaning no disrespect, I don't think you are in a position to say what's apt in this circumstance. I do not want to fight :-) :-) :-) I am simply stating a strong personal opinion.

As for the ocean line, one of my favorites from an old Buffett tune -- next line is "you just might end up being wrong." Seemed to fit for me -- maybe I ended up being wrong.

By the way, many who wear the uniform did not choose to do so until recently. Many conscripts no more eager than the reluctant bride or groom in our tale.
