They implemented their training and fought to the best of their ability under whichever administration that was in charge at the time, rules of engagement. I guess that was my point. Sorry if it wasn't clear as mud.<br /><br />My husband and brother were in the SF under Clinton. They went on more missions and trained less, all of which the public was unaware of. His wars were off the books as well and it wasn't until 3 TRILLION dollars was discovered unaccounted for when GWBush took office that this off-the-book-and out of the public scrutiny was put into daylight. The media wasn't interested in it however, they were busy undermining Bush.<br /><br />Happy Mother's Day to all.<br /><br />sts<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-41956020480959396452013-05-12T09:15:17.510-07:002013-05-12T09:15:17.510-07:00Enola, Sidetracksusie and other Moms out there.

...Enola,<br /><br />(captaincrunch)<br /><br />The Angels are Bowling!<br /><br />"Oil Field Worker" and myself were standing in his garage talking and we had a series of thunderstorms and rain come through that night."Oil Field workers" three and half year old daughter (Ladybug) is afraid of thunder. Every time the thunder sounded off' Ladybug ran with her hands covered over her ears crying looking for her Daddy. <br /><br />Daddy' picked her up and placed' his face real close to hers and said its ok' The Angels are bowling. Ladybug stopped crying and said in a weak and scared voice "Ok" <br />He gave her a big hug and put Ladybug back down and Lady ran back inside the house to her mother and little sister.<br /><br />That was about one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. Im proud to say that "Oil Field worker" is one of my best friends.<br /><br />I made a new friend also recently standing in line to get extra ammo. A 77 year old man who was is retired of course and we have been out shooting twice already. He's a was a very high ranking "public official" and has Doctorate (PH.D) in his field. I like talking with and learning from' much older and experienced people. If this guy needs any help with anything, I will of course help him out, but he was doing ok' shooting one of my AR-15's. He never shot an AR before and he was smiling like a eight year old kid with a new toy.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-60247817516686521092013-05-11T21:29:23.359-07:002013-05-11T21:29:23.359-07:00You arent serving the cinc, its the county and its...You arent serving the cinc, its the county and its ideals you serve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-66353109630114585952013-05-11T21:27:19.567-07:002013-05-11T21:27:19.567-07:00Fodder?

For many people the concept of serving others is foreign. That is why less than 9% of the US population IS or HAS been in the military. Service is apparently for "other people". We can serve in many ways, but it's certainly not a priority for far too many. Service is giving and doing, and that is anathema to the "take, take, take" culture that is pervasive in our society. <br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I don't consider military service the only way to serve, and I'd be far from excited about serving under the current commander-in-thief. Enola is spot on, it's the way we live our lives and it is what makes our lives worth living. What good is a present that we can not give?<br /><br />I hope everyone is having a blessed spring. <br /><br />sidetracksusieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-21890950558604322222013-05-09T16:13:41.912-07:002013-05-09T16:13:41.912-07:00Enola,
