I'd prefer not list my MOS due to obvious reasons, sir. I will say that I "speak the language of the bad guys" -- literally. And I'm quite fluent. If you know Intel, you know the MOS.

It's all about our buddies...no doubt. They watch your back - you watch theirs. As leaders, we have the sublime duty of caring for our troops while we accomplish the mission. We don't want to lose any.

"The sublimest word in the English language is duty. Do your duty in all things. No one can ask you to do more, and you should never accept less." General Robert E. Lee

I've lost three friends in this war. My bottom line is that I know they'll bring it back to our doorstep. I'll sacrifice so my kids/grandkids can have peace.

Don't worry, you'll get your chance

Take care of your people and do the mission

As long as you do that, your opinions are your business

When you get there, you'll notice most of the troops believe in what we're doing and the reserve component guys are doing just fine

Good luck

"Just venting a little bit."

I know. And I don't blame you. Diplomacy has never been my strong suit, so I hope you'll forgive my bluntness.

Thanks for your continuing service to our country, strider. I truly appreciate it.
