[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2297605, member: 3230"] Thanks, it was truly a privilege to serve but my service cannot be compared to those who actually saw combat. I know two guys who were in the Battle of Mogadishu. One tried desperately to stem the femoral artery bleeding of Cpl Jamie Smith, all the while trying to get in a medevac that never came because it was too hot; the other was involved in the rescue operation involving Pakistan tanks, etc. I recently re-connected with the finest leader I have ever met: my 1SG when I was a CoCdr (he came from Delta Force). He wrote this in an email: "I watched first hand the toll of the long war on a generation of service members. My daughter was a LT in the 101st and went into Iraq with the first wave; her husband (WP 2000) had several tours before he got out. Our son was on the initial invasion of Afghanistan and did multiple tours also. I have a picture of 5 LT's together in Afghanistan in 2001, all proud and out to save the world. Of those five, only one lived thru the next 10 years." [/QUOTE]
