Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of the Rangers.

Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster, and fight harder than any other soldier.

Never shall I fail my comrades I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong, and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one hundred percent and then some.

Galantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well trained soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress, and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow.

Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.

Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission, though I be the lone survivor.

Godspeed brother.

Bottom line- this is a real war, and people are going to have to choose sides. I have chosen mine, and Reese has chosen his. He imputes only the worst possible motives to the U.S. and Israel, and gives the IslamoFascists a free pass (like his pal, Joe Sobran).

That is NOT the side I want to be on.

Liberal Talk Radio to Launch BIG in January!
			Posted by RANGERAIRBORNE to AlwaysLurking On News/Activism ^ 11/04/2003 10:41:29 AM EST #8 of 118 Bring it on. Free speech is a GOOD THING. However, I have been around for awhile, been to a bunch of county fairs and a number of goat-ropings, and I cannot recall EVER IN MY LIFE seeing a Conservative convert to liberalism. I have seen the reverse happen a whole lot, though.

One of the things I taught when I was in Special forces (pretty successfully) was anti-tank weapons. And I spent two years with Abrams tanks when they were first fielded in the Army- and I know where the weak points are... My house is the green one with the TOW missiles out front. Wipe off your treads before you come in- my wife will REALLY hurt you if you track up the living room!

"I don't think I will ever understand that mindset."

Me, neither. But here is a terrific example of a "liberal mind" in action-

When I was in college (in the Resrves, just before I went active duty for Vietnam)there were daily anti-War protests on campus. I cornered one of these protesters, a chubby long-haired guy wearing sandals (of course!) in the Student Union one afternoon, and really tried to get some sort of understandable explanation (other than sheer cowardice) for the behavior of the "peaceniks".

He insisted that there was NOTHING important enough for him to ever fight for. I asked him what he would do if some neighborhood thug was insulting his mother and threatening to attack her. His answer (I'm NOT making this up!) was "Well, we'd just have to move to a better neighborhood"

This encounter has informed my understanding of "liberals" ever since.

I would pass on the good advice I got long in a roadhouse in Louisiana, when my Beretta .25 pistol dropped out of my pocket onto the floor. As the bartender picked it up and gave it back to me, he said "Son, get yourself a REAL gun!"

A soldier has returned home, Lord. His beret will remain, but may his spirit soar to new adventure in the heavens with You.

Amen.
