    Had to be a tough decision. At times it seems patriotism is fading and then we are reminded by a true patriot what it's really all about. Thanks for your service in the past, present and future!!

    Now you got us wondering about what kind of mission could be so 'different' than any other that you don't trust anyone else to do it ?

    But I will not know till I get there to be sure.

    And that sucks. Taking the Mac book anyway.

    A mission only he feels he can do.......

    1) go over there.
    2) blow up something.
    3) fly back on a C5A.
    4) stop at remote airstrip outside Maranello with highly trained team of Marines.
    5) load up said C5A with all kinds of neat looking red cars.
    6) continue on home to complete mission.

    Yep - that's a mission few could do...
    And yes, it would have to be one helluva long 'remote airstrip'.

    Dang, and I was just about to PM you on where you got your stormtrooper armor...was wanting to buy a set.

    Well, take care and have a safe ride over. See ya when you get here!

    My dad was a Marine in the 60s, while some may not agree on the situation in Iraq just like previous engagements such as Viet Nam many did 2nd tours not for the cause but for their fellow buds in the Corps.

    Marines first to fight and Semper Fi -good luck

    Wonder how good the coverage is? IRAQNA is the major local cell net here and from what I hear SUCKS majorly. Everyone else around here uses Verizon.
