These servicemembers who died - and those who came before them and those who will come after them - are the reason for Memorial Day. God rest their souls.

Another helicopter – "Razor 04" – picked up the SEALs and Air Force TSgt. John Chapman – a combat controller – and went in to save Roberts. The helicopter took fire but was able to deliver the team. The SEALs and Chapman approached the last known area of Roberts, but were fired upon. As they maneuvered, they engaged the al Qaeda fighters and killed several. Chapman was killed and some of the SEALs were wounded.

Well said. When you commit to a fight, it's hard to disengage.
Good ground is good ground... both sides want it.
If you wait, they'll fortify it. If you move quickly, you might take it.
It's a crap shoot... no more, no less.
Let us all remember those who have given the full, final measure for our country.
From Lexington and Concord to Anaconda... and the meat grinders in between.
God bless our Republic!
