    Why were you so sensitive to that part, Redleg?

    Serious question. I'm not grinding an axe or anything...

    Have you served, or known someone who did service there?

    To answer your question

    Yes - I served 12 years, my brother is still in, and most of my friends have been there and will be going back there.

    And its not sensitive - its countering the axe that Kafir wishes to grind.

    What Axe? What grind? If the article puts yo off, fine. But, don't use your animosty towards me as a reason to discount it.

    That actually sounds like quite a good idea for a thread / poll unless someone has done this sort of thing before?
    Cowardice is to run from the fear;
    Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
    Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
    But to hold the line anyway.

    The axe that you grind - you might want to go back a couple of months ago when you called my ancestors a certain term - and several other threads. The article doesn't put me off at all - your attempts and caustic and unfounded accusations do however. Two can play the game in which you wish to play, if you don't like it - then don't play in such a manner.
