As much as I deeply appreciate the military people I know, like you and my own Sister Sailor and Brother Pilot (although he never got within earshot of even potential combat), I wish you didn't exist. Not personally, of course! Saw in the newspaper this morning where they caught the Merchant of Death, the Russian guy who sold arms to all sides in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, *including* the US. The US both wants to extradite him and doesn't want to, because if it does, all our dealings with him will come out. All I could think is, "This is f***ing nuts. If people could stop shooting at each other for a few weeks, just long enough maybe to let the adrenalin die down, what might we achieve?" Anyway...incredibly interesting as nuclear submarines, Coast Guard cutters, and Air Force fighter jets are...I wish they didn't exist. Again, great respect and appreciation for you people on deck.
