geesh. retirement is so boring. i hate cutting grass and planting flowers. i hate being on the sidelines when the big game is being played. my friends are coming back with some great stories. and all this time i thought they were doing heating and air conditioning work. i was just given a long shot chance to,'CRACK......whummph' or 'pop pop - pop pop.' if you know what i mean. put it like this...ive gained 20 lbs, my eyes arent as good as they use to be, my hearing is down in my right ear, my dad is ill, and i got a wife and family to care for. its like in order to be qualified for this tour, you have to be a gambler. would you put it all on the line? some people gamble because they are good at it. some do it because they are serving. but to leave the safety of homeplate...to whip some rag soup with a pinch of 7.62, whew. help me out here.......i gotta give an answer to the scout. a good poker player knows when to walk away from the table. should i count my chips and call it a night, or dance another dance?[?]

Most of all PRAY for the good Lord's guidance.

That's the dirty bleening truth. Iraq isn't some weekend outdoor excursion. People are dying over there.

I guarentte that you will forget all about going 'in country'!!
It is about civillians trying out the SAS selection course! And no, there is no prise at the end except for respect of the instructors!
If I can't spell, so what!
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
On your mark-get set- go away!!
meant no disrespect.Knew nothing of your skills or abilities.
There are always those prefering to walk in the rough..and skill tends to keep one alive...over youth and headyness...
There are those for whom watching from afar..cannot possibly feed the spirit.You have the age and wisdom to know what is deep inside yourself..and it is obvious that mowing the grass is not where you are at..at this moment....

Thomas Jefferson, of Virginia:
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms. . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
Why not?
It's not war untill someone breaks out the .50 calibers.
