The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Relocating?Military members find information on homes for military by visiting Military Homes.com For the Effort!Subscribe![]() Tagsafghanistan AGW Araby army Blogging buffoonery china culture economy Flying Friday Musings geopol GWOT Headlines health care History iran iraq issues Media Memory Lane Military Navy norks Oz pakistan piracy politicians politics Politics and Culture pundits Russia science seals sea stories silliness Small Stuff SoCal sport technology UAVs UK usaf usmc weapons WP Cumulus Flash tag cloud by Roy Tanck and Luke Morton requires Flash Player 9 or better. |

Freedom Fighter! He’s “much of a man”, my daddy would say.
I like the way he thinks.
And acts.
it has often been asked, “where does america find such men?”
sometimes, such men find america first.
Now that is someone to Admire!
I salute to this man! I hope someone makes a movie or book about him and his unit. Those men cannot be forgotten!!!
What rt said. Amazing story.
Wow. I remember the stories about the guy who rode outside the chopper and marveled at his courage and determination to save the life of a fellow soldier.
It’s incredible to finally learn about that soldier.
The conversations between son and father demonstrate clearly the gulf between the thinking realist and the head-in-the-sand idealist. . . and the father’s simpleminded attitude of being “in favor of peace,” reported to result from observing simmering, never-ending wars in Sierra Leone, supports the argument that when war must be waged it should be done full-force with the goal being a clear and final win. No half measures. No kinder / gentler.
I’d like to meet the son. Quite a guy – and that nasty wound didn’t change his views, so I’d say they are for real.
What an incredible story. It would have been fantastic without the helicopter part, that was just icing on the cake
thanks for posting this Lex
