Fire for effect! Yes lbs, we who have lived inside what you recently dscribed as something like the sharp tip of the sword of combat feel a strong connection to those recent special operations soldiers from what i'm not sure is the official description, but something like a mountain devision of the Army. For sure Navy Seals have already spent time in country doing what they do, and these guys need not our focus as they and a few others from other branches that enter enemy territory do a job best keep away from open discussion both for their protection before during and after missions. Anyway, these "extra" special soldiers come as close as can be to what we know as war and need not the taste those who just jumped out of those planes and did a mission and left. But for those Army Rangers i believe were the ones yesterday and today, especially the young ones who probably make up 99% sent in, they now have done the real thing, up close and personnal a.k.a. inside a combat zone rather than close to or just around the edges. I'm not sure what will happen next, but unlike other military missions more like a police action, these soldiers made do as we did in Vietnam and live & work inside what is a combat zone in the sense that we not need to travel from a place of safety to danger, as we "are there" and just move around inside it sometimes when the contact zones moves.
For sure it would be possible to explain to others, especially a woman, why a young man being still a boy would sign-up for combat duty when he does not need to and could lead a life away from combat, but no need as the answer is somewhat like that cheap hotdog question except the answer would make the boy want to eat more cheap hotdogs rather than the opposite effect.
But no matter as Sherlock Homes might have said, "The game is a-foot." as events will increase quite a bit now, and to end this post on a very not nice message in my opinion of what i have access to, things are going to get extremely bad in the next days weeks and months.
For example the kill ratio for Vietnam was in the usa favor, as in i'm not remembering, but between 10 to 1 or 100 to 1 i think, and eventhought because of the large number killed in the Trade Towers its not in the usa favor, like 5,000 to 1 or even 500 to 1, this ratio will change very dramatically in this near future of less than a year based on the info that i have access to, as in usa killed and seriously damaged will be thousands for each terrorist killed.
Wish it was not so since i'm a possible usa count, but atleast for me i have that bad news and good news being the same news in that i have no other person that is at risk today and tomorrows. For you and most all the rest here, best if you do as those mainstream media people are now doing with reality biting them in their @ss(s) and no more accept/let the political talk be accepted as ok just like today on 60 Minutes the Mike Wallace had real fear in his voice and eyes as he lives in New York City and has both children and grandchildren he cares for with love and he now knows that the usa government is not ready to prepare for terrorist attacks in this current time frame, and yes he knows that not only could the usa be prepared, but the usa could have years ago, as in ten years ago for example, done what needed to be done to elimate the threat of terrorism using the correct method to identify those persons places and things that are used to create such, and remove them from the face of planet Earth in the name of Self Defense. Would have been an easy job to do and accomplish since the usa was the only super power and could have molded into its camp most all of the nations that have the military power, and make agreements with some that they will have the option to increase the stability of their current government structure and keep them politicians in place. A few other nations would have been told to keep quiet and the usa will let you exist but will weed out certain structures the usa knows as future threats. Amazing it would be when so called hard liners swallow hard and accept this usa self defense activity that would directly make changes to their nation. But then its survival and just so that those willing to die now for their beliefs are quickly killed, that many hard liners who Talk such will be willing to stay alive and not Walk to their death. Best to keep your beliefs alive and well and continue with them if it only means that certain Walk'able to their death hardliners are removed and keeping in place 95% of those wishing not to take that death Walk, and for them all they have to accept is the removal of those weapons of mass destruction from their soil.
But too late, the usa politicians as i spoken before either directly or indirectly, they spent the tax dollars to accomplish IOU(s) only for stuff to get them re-elected, not for the present and future well being as in protection for threats of terrorism that were knowed as stuff all people since thousands of years ago knew existed along side other threats. But in the last 50 years access to the Gates of Hell opened very wide, and in the last years the gate or door has been fully opened without any action of Earth's people to shut it down.
Whoever elected and re-elected these politicians now have only themselves collectively to blame. And as i stated, reality bites even these politicians in their @sses as they can not run & hide, and yes they are even on the front lines of terrorism being in the nation capital and New York City etc.
So yes, great feel good pictures from the next poster, as such, but soon God Bless America & USA Flag waving will not be done as now when weapons of mass destruction are used against us people of the USA and we soon find out that the above pictures of USA military might is of no use inside America against many thousands of terrorist and copy-cats and wackos.
Like i spoke on 9/11, when anger is replaced with fear, then the war will be in effect fully.
From anger to God Bless America to Hell on nation America.
