Unbelievable. The main reason we are winning in Iraq is that we have the finest fighting force in the history of the world.

“He said he wasn’t finished,” said Hoyt’s battalion commander Lt. Col. Mark Landes, who re-enlisted the Soldier. “He said, ‘I still have a job to do.’ I’ve never seen the like.”

They don't come any better than this ping.

Brotherhood is a very strong bond, to serve our country and be proclaimed a worthy man, a warrior, is something to strive for.

I too believe we have the finest fighting force in the history of the world. And I believe we have had the finest fighting force in the history of the world at each stage of our nation’s history, even though we were poorly prepared for war on occasion. IMO, that’s where our weakness will always be, if there is to be one. And it won’t be the fault of our grunts. It will be the fault of those who would defeat us from within.

It’s amazing what fighting to keep what you have will produce, great soldiers like this. Those fighting us are fighting to change their sad state of affairs.

Seems to me this kind of story needs to be brought to the attention of the Olympia, Washington Port Authority, the Evergreen University shlups who were out there the last couple of weeks seriously keeping the movement of war material from going as smooth as it should have...

I doubt a lot of them would be shamed by their behavior...

But guys and gals like this (in Iraq and Afganistan, and the rest of the world) are what is going to keep this country together!

I am bursting with gratitude for those who serve in our military...especially those at this time. When God chose to bless this nation He gave us generations of the brave, strong and loyal men and women who have held, and are holding, our standard high across the world.

Thank you, Lord, for each and every one. What a blessing!

I have said that the reason we win wars is our secret weapon that no other country can duplicate....our young Soldiers, Marines, Sailors and Airmen. They are what keeps us free and have never failed us. God bless them all!!!

Bump that!

We, also, have some of the most amazing men and women in our military.

Thank you, T4B!

I had one of my men re-enlist the day after a time fuse went off in is hand. He had just gotten it out of the main charge when it went. One or two seconds the other way and he would have been blown to bits. This happened in 1972 in Vietnam.
