Without them men and women giving that sacriface we would have been doomed already. Our problems aren't with the brave men and women, it is with the coward that are taking over our schools, university, and governments. I served with Men that just wanted to fight. Those same men still go into the service "to fight", thank God for them. Thanks for your great articles. By the way, I served in Okinawa and on MSG Duty with a Marine from Walnut Creek. He probably enlisted in 87 or early 88. His name is Glenn Scherrer. Does that name ring a bell. Take care, Alex Hi Scott,

They and their families know the reality that too many cannot face-often because of partisan blindness and disdain. Planet Earth is not a civilized place. Evil men do exist, and they are never contented. I’d believe it to be half empty, except for the millions who continue to enilst, serve, and re-enlist.

They expect tyranny to stay "over there", and they think that if we mind our own business, we won't be bothered. What a laugh; a very serious laugh at that. We are losing the battle from within, and shamefully I have to say I believe the cup to be half empty. Semper Fi 86-94 Scott,
