Another good new doc is the Howe one from Pantaeo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OlQcKBqpKU Didn't even know about that one, thanks! Yeah, it is a no-holds-barred look at it from the Delta perspective. It seemed to me like even though Howe is quite ... unrelenting ... when it comes to telling it like it is, that he's *still* holding some stuff back. It's close to 3 hours long.

Thanks to all of you who have sacrificed and given so much.
May we never forget those who have been taken from us. |

This was my one and only real deployment, Oct/Nov/Dec 1993 we showed up with two KC-135R's to refuel the C-130 gunships that launched every night, we generated ou r sorties from Moi International Airport in Mombasa, Kenya.

Quoted:
Touched on a key point that reoccurs again and again in talking with veterans. Acknowledge you are already dead, and each moment a gift, and that your only choice is whether you die with honor or not. Only then can you do what you must in combat.. Today is a good day to die. to be amongst men who have made that cognitive leap, to share danger with them, to lead them. There is nothing like it in the world. View Quote Spent a night in my rack in tears before the invasion into Iraq over that thought (realizing I'll never meet my first born) After I realized I was most likely dead the rest of the deployment became easier. To fight anyway. |

Powerful. You guys that can go running toward the firefight instead of running away from it are something else. Thank you. energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. RLTW. Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission, though I be the lone survivor Sua Sponte (And now y'all know what TIBTLS comes from) |

I am from Ft. Dodge Iowa, and my dad had Jeff Struecker in class as a student. He was a few years older than me. Said he was a really good kid. I never got to meet him in the Army. I did get a copy of BHD signed by a crew chief that survived(minus a finger) from super 6-1. I lent the book to someone and never got it back. Time to watch BHD again.

Quoted: It is interesting that his acceptance of the inevitability of death is almost word for word what the Samurai warriors came to accept hundreds of years ago. Both apparently found that the acceptance of death allowed them an unusual kind of peace, and ability to function when others couldn't. View Quote it is also almost word for word what the a large number of the (combat effective) Soldiers reported as their reasoning for being able to perform the way throough many dire situations in the history of modern combat. Ambrose writes about it in his book and it is mentioned at numerous points throughout BoB, David Grossman of course talks about it in his books. Its a fairly well known type of stress response that is triggered among some Soldiers while in combat. Of course like most of these types of phenomenon it is still unfortunately pretty poorly understood other than that it occurs. Then out spake brave Horatius, The Captain of the Gate: "To every man upon this earth Death cometh soon or late. And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, And the temples of his Gods." From a poem written by Macaulay in the mid 1800's in reference to the Roman Solider Horatius Cocles after he stood up alone to hold a bridge against a massive invading force. From the movie 'The Kingdom' directed/Produced by Berg/Michael Mann "You know, Westmoreland made all of us officers write our own obituaries during Tet, when we thought The Cong were gonna end it all right there. And, once we clued into the fact that life is finite, the thought of losing it didn't scare us anymore. The end comes no matter what, the only thing that matters is how do you wanna go out, on your feet or on your knees? I bring that lesson to this job. I act, knowing that someday this job will end, no matter what. You should do the same." |

I remember that day clearly, I was a senior in high school. Some of the men in that fight were barely older than I was, yet I was just a boy.

Damn I am old. It was a sad day at Fort Benning when the news broke. I was there too. Sad. Pissed. Sad. Pissed. Ready to kill motherfuckers. Sad. Pissed. I was in jump school at the time with orders for the 82nd thinking I'm going to war when I get there. |
