While war is hell and those who served will be the first to admit this, the heroes who had their very hands bloodied are slowly leaving us replaced by the button pushers who view their wrought destruction on unrealistic videos. The stories of the gory glories of the men of conficts past need to be penned as a lesson that will last. Thanks. "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve" |
