MK, for all the missile cruisers, carriers, aircraft, satellites and other assorted toys the military has, it all boils down to some dirty, tired, hungry, horny ground pounder standing on a particular piece of dirt and saying "Mine, you can't have it, and I dare you to try and take it away!"
I think the world of all branches, and appreciate everything they do, but I have to admit my heart is still with the boys on the ground. I would still be there but for a encounter with some Russian made, Iraqi employed ordnance.
Sorry, I don't mean to preach.
After doing some back reading on the "Military Members post pics of you in your uniforms" thread, I am not trying to start another "Infantry is all there is" discussion. On the contrary, I owe my life to an angel. An ugly,tired, dirty angel flying a Blackhawk with a red cross on the side. If I ever find that guy, well, he will never get that drunk again in this lifetime.
