They traveled the same roads as those that fought at the Battle of thr Bulge. They walk the same streets that those who died in the rice paddies of Viet Nam did. In short...they are Americans. God grant that we will always have those that love their country more than life itself. “Where do we get these soldiers?”…Gaius, these soldiers come from the same farms and towns as those that landed at Tarawa and Iwo Jimas did.

A fitting sendoff for a true hero. Reason #4,765 why you should fear the U.S. Special Forces: they can party hard as much as a year after death.

Why do we deserve them?" We grow them, Gius. That's where we get them. They are a reflection of our own dedication to our country and our freedom. Sad thing is there probably isn't a Kerry or a Heiz among them. To those people, a unit like that is where one might get "stuck". The more I live the more I am convinced that the two major parties are a reflection of our society in that one side is the producer and the other side the consumer. One side would represent the production of wealth and the maintenance of freedom and the other side consumes the fruits of it. Hearing of soldiers like this can make me extremely proud and extremely angry at the same time. “Where do we get these soldiers? Why do we deserve them?”
