Ron:
First off, thanks for becoming a member of our site. It is an absolute pleasure to have you amongst our ranks.
Surprisingly, there are many more in "our court" than not. Several more people told me this week that they didn't want to say anything for fear of repercussion, although they had been feeling the same way for quite some time.
Right now they are bouncing it back to the army again and playing the famous ping-pong game. Sigh!
I totally agree with your assessment that most folks don't realize what is important in life; the simple things. These men want to live a peaceful existence. We should let them have their wish. Maybe those who are taking things into their own hands should go back and watch a certain BOB episode, then remember what the Major said back in France after he lived through the first day in Normandy.
Thanks for the compliments and I hope you will come around often.
