| The Conversation Pit This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it! |

Jack everything seemed to be going ok untill this. when I got tasked out as recovery on missions I was ok but when I found out he was the person in front of me it was a relief on my shoulders. I didn't have to worry about who had my back. Sad to say but even with some of the pansy waste that they let in now. I know I can handle my own but with all and everthying that went on I am glad to say I had someone that had my back that I didnt have to worry about weather they WOULD make the shot. He would and then ask was it center enough for me. I am looking at going back to duty after 14 months sitting sidline and am ready ok ok half assed ready but yeah I am ready. Trust me in military terms a profile is just a suggestion. And when I say this its not bull****ting. I would rather have 3 guys like him on my team that 8 that wasnt like hime. I know its hard for some people to understand but he was THE GUY that you would want with you when **** got deep. My wife and my families prayers goes out to his twins to know that their father was a HERO.

Chuck, I know you're asking, "Why? Why is it that the good ones have to take the fall?" I've asked the same questions in another time, another war. I still have no answers - except one: It's the good ones who "hang it out" to get the job done. Sounds like your Brother in Arms was one of those.
My Father was a career Army officer (served in WWII, Korea and Vietnam). He had a philosophy that talked about "The Man Upstairs". He felt all of us were put here for a reason and that there was no way we could ever understand that reason. We simply had to live it out the best way we knew how. I suspect I've absorbed some of that philosophy myself. I feel we just need to go on and do everything we can to be honorable and true to those we love. To lose someone who you have literally trusted with your life is a crushing blow. I can't make the hurt go away and I can't explain why this happened. All I know is, he lives on through his twins. And, maybe, that's the best any of us can hope for in this world! Peace, my friend. - Jack |
