Okay Skybird...I can admit to romanticizing war a little bit sometimes. Everyone does. I have heard many stories of the horrors of war but have not personally experienced them and I see what you mean about me being dragged into another "Iraq 2003." That war lasted entirely too long. But how do you effectively fight an insurgency quickly without help from the native government?

My Coast Guard remark was supposed to be a kind of joke. I respect those men and women who defend the oceans and shores of Coastal America.

I don't have much time to post now. I'm in a hurry. I'll post more later!

@Steve, If you dreamed of flying then how did you end up on destroyers? I had to ask.
