This reminds me of a line in the movie "The Lost Battalion" on A&E last night. After the surrounded Lost Battalion kicked his ass for a day or so, the German Major complained, "These crazy Americans are reckless. They attack when they're NOT supposed to attack, and WON"T retreat when they are supposed to."

"These crazy Americans are reckless. They attack when they're NOT supposed to attack, and WON'T retreat when they are supposed to."

Words to live by. Keeps 'em off balance.
BTW, on 9-11 I was 2000 miles from home. I flew home ASAP...and I had a plan. This lightweight woman wasn't gonna let anyone ruin my day and I was not gonna rely on anyone other than myself. I do believe, tho', that the others on my flights were thinking along the same lines. The atmosphere was pretty intense...
